What reading level is The Translations of Beowulf book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In each case the translator wasintroducing the poem to a foreign public, and it was therefore well thatthe translation should be literal in order that it might assist in theinterpretation of the original. There has been no further work done onthe poem in Italy[3].
While the verse is not strictly imitative in the sense that it preservesexactly the Old English system of versification, it aims to maintain thegeneral movement of the original lines. The four stresses are kept, savewhere a fifth is u...sed to avoid monotony. These ‘expanded lines’ are muchcommoner in the Italian than in the Old English.

Schuhmann, mentioned by Wülker in his _Grundriss_, § 209, I can ascertain nothing. ] WICKBERG’S TRANSLATION Beowulf, en fornengelsk hjeltedikt, öfversatt af Rudolf Wickberg. Westervik, C. O.
