Re: Dawn Wind

I think Sutcliff felt the same way: even in her version of Beowulf, she makes them seem... kind of small and less impressive than I think they probably should be. Obviously she knew about Sutton Hoo, but I think her reading of the Saxons is still shaped by older stories where they were primitive savages.
