»Höher sei der Wille, das Herz kühner, der Mut umso mehr, wie unsre Macht schwindet.« England im 10. Jahrhundert. Bei der Stadt Maldon trifft ein Wikingerheer auf die Verteidiger von Essex. Hiervon erzählt ein altenglisches Gedicht, das kurz nach der Schlacht entstand. Es inspirierte J.R.R. Tolkien zu einem eigenen Versdrama: Die Heimkehr von Beorhtnoth Beorhthelms Sohn. Es ist Nacht. Zwei Männer stolpern über das Schlachtfeld. Der eine ein junger Bursche mit dem Kopf voller Träume. Der andere ein alter Bauer, der schon viele Kämpfe gesehen hat. Während sie im Dunkeln nach der Leiche ihres Herrn suchen, erkunden sie im Gespräch die Spannungen zwischen Jugend und Alter, von heidnischer und christlicher Weltsicht, die Ideale von Treue und Gemeinschaft und die Frage, was Heldentum bedeutet. Tolkiens dramatischer Dialog wird ergänzt durch seine Übersetzung der altenglischen Vorlage, Notizen und Essays aus dem Umfeld und eine frühe Fassung des Stücks in gereimten Versen. Dabei sind wissenschaftliche Arbeit und literarisches Schaffen untrennbar verbunden und führen am Ende weiter in die Welt von Der Herr der Ringe. Enthalten ist »Die Heimkehr von Beorhtnoth Beorhthelms Sohn« in der englischen Fassung und erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. Ein Extrakapitel behandelt die »Tradition der Versbildung im Altenglischen«.
