I'm very glad _Grendel_ is banned. It will make for even more interesting reading in my Rewriting Beowulf course. I hope it has something to do with the fact that Grendel himself was banned as a violent, ungodly, atheistic, race-of-Cain un-fathered and highly intellectual bloke who was pissed off by the Christian singing in Heorot.
