Edwin Mellen Press, 2010. — 592 p. Beowulf is interpreted in light of cross-cultural, migratory typescenes and themes in epic tradition, contrasting sharply with nativist, ironic and nominalist readings that are current in the critical literature. Dr. E.R. Anderson is Professor Emeritus at Cleveland State University, where he taught courses in Literature and Linguistics and served...
Boydell & Brewer, 2013. — 292 p. — (Anglo-Saxon Studies). This book examines violence in its social setting, and especially as an essential element in the heroic system of exchange (sometimes called the Economy of Honour). It situates Beowulf in a northern European culture where violence was not stigmatized as evidence of a breakdown in social order but rather was seen as a...

D. S. Brewer, 2022. — 280 p. — (Anglo-Saxon Studies 45). An examination of the depiction and representation of performative acts in Old English texts. Acts of performance, such as music, storytelling, and poetry recital, have made significant contributions to the rediscovery and widening popularity of Old English poetry. However, while these performances capture the...
University of Toronto Press, 1997. — 230 p. The date of Beowulf , debated for almost a century, is a small question with large consequences. Does the poem provide us with an accurate if idealized view of early Germanic culture? Or is it rather a creature of nostalgia and imagination, born of the desire of a later age to create for itself a glorious past? If we cannot decide...
West Virginia University Press, 2014. — 214 p. In Beowulf and the Grendel-kin: Politics and Poetry in Eleventh-Century England , Helen Damico presents the first concentrated discussion of the initiatory two-thirds of Beowulf’s 3,182 lines in the context of the sociopolitically turbulent years that composed the first half of the eleventh century in Anglo-Danish England. Damico...
University of Wisconsin Press, 1984. — 270 p. In this work Helen Damico draws on literary, historical, and mythological sources to present the first systematic analysis of Wealhtheow, Queen of the Danes in Beowulf. Long considered a passive and decidedly minor character with no relation to other heroic figures, Wealhtheow is transformed through Damico’s scholarship into a...

Palgrave Macmillan, 2016. — 106 p. — ISBN10: 3319306278. — ISBN13: 978-3319306278. The most original and ground-breaking work on Beowulf in several decades, this book uses "lexomic" methods that blend computer-assisted statistical analysis with traditional approaches to reveal new and surprising information about the construction and sources of the greatest surviving Old...
Bloomsbury Academic, 2014. — 282 p.
In this important contribution to Anglo-Saxon studies Dr Goldsmith presents a fully elaborated and documented interpretation of Beowulf based on the original theories which she has put forward in recent years and which have aroused considerable interest and controversy in scholarly circles. Her view of the poem as the product of a marriage of...
ARC Humanities Press, 2022. — 292 p. In such a wide-ranging, long-standing, and international field of scholarship as Beowulf , one might imagine that everything would long since have been thoroughly investigated. And yet as far as the absolutely crucial question of the poem’s origins is concerned, that is not the case. This cross-disciplinary study by Bo Gräslund argues that...

Brill, 2008. — 436 p. — (Medieval and Renaissance Authors and Texts 2). Readers of Beowulf have noted inconsistencies in Beowulf's depiction, as either heroic or reckless. Heroic Identity in the World of Beowulf resolves this tension by emphasizing Beowulf's identity as a foreign fighter seeking glory abroad. Such men resemble wreccan , "exiles" compelled to leave their...
WW Norton, 2001. — 256 p. Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the...
University of Toronto Press, 2010. — 320 p. What makes one Anglo-Saxon poem better than another? Why does Beowulf still have the power to move us after so many centuries? What might have been aesthetically pleasing to Old English readers and writers of poetry? While there is an apparent consensus by scholars on a core of poems considered to be exceptional literary achievements...
University of Toronto Press, 2009. — 144 p. One of the most consistent critiques levelled against Beowulf is that it lacks a steady narrative advance and that its numerous digressions tend to complicate if not halt the poem's movement. As those passages often look backward or far ahead in narrative time, they seem to transform the poem into a meditative pastiche. The Narrative...

West Virginia University Press, 2006. — 184 p. One of the great triumphs of nineteenth-century philology was the development of the wide array of comparative data that underpins the grammars of the Old Germanic dialects, such as Old English, Old Icelandic, Old Saxon, and Gothic. These led to the reconstruction of Common Germanic and Proto-Germanic languages. Many individuals...
Cambridge University Press, 1991. — 334 p. — (Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England). This book argues that the formal art of the Old English epic Beowulf is shaped and determined by the poetic language that the poet inherited from the traditional, oral culture of Anglo-Saxon England. The patterns of meter and alliteration exhibited in the poem were not imposed by the poet...

Boydell & Brewer, 2020. — 326 p. — (Anglo-Saxon Studies, v. 39). The original audience of Beowulf was steeped in ancient Scandinavian royal legend. But for modern readers of the poem, these traditions are frustratingly obscure and confusing. This book argues that Beowulf is a dynastic drama centred on the fortunes of three great royal houses, the Scyldings, Scylfings and...
D.S. Brewer, 2022. — 240 p. The best-known wolves of Old English literature are the Beasts of Battle, alongside ravens and eagles as ravenous heralds of doom who haunt the battlefield in the hope of fresh meat plucked from still-warm bodies. Yet to reduce these animals to mere corpse-scavengers is to deny that they are frequently imbued with a variety of far more nuanced...

Boydell & Brewer Ltd., 2014. — 250 p. — (Anglo-Saxon Studies 24). "This book will be a milestone, and deserves to be widely read. The early "Beowulf" that overwhelmingly emerges here asks hard questions, and the same strictly defined measures of metre, spelling, onomastics, semantics, genealogy, and historicity all cry out to be tested further and applied more broadly to the...
Harvard University Press, 1983. — 320 p. John Niles develops a new view of the first great work of English literature and the native poetic tradition from which it arose. His lucid commentary analyzes all aspects of the poem’s style, meaning, and historical context. Niles interprets Beowulf as a song performed before an audience, not as a text to be read by clerics. Showing its...
Oxford University Press, 2006 - 368 p.
This book suggests that Beowulf was composed in the winter of 826–7 by Eanmund, abbot of the minster of Breedon on the Hill in north-west Leicestershire, not only as a requiem for King Beornwulf of Mercia who was killed in battle earlier that year, but also as a work of recommendation for Wiglaf, an ealdorman who was plotting to succeed...
D.S.Brewer, 2003. — 396 pages. — ISBN: 0-85991-766-5. Beowulf is the best known and most closely studied literary work surviving from Anglo-Saxon England, and the modern reader is faced with a bewildering number and variety of interpretations about such basic matters as the date, provenance, and significance of the poem. A Critical Companion to Beowulf addresses these and other...
D.S.Brewer, 2000. — 240 p. This first comprehensive study of the dragon-fight in Old English and related literatures casts fresh light on Beowulf's last battle. The vivid depiction of a dragon-fight in the Old English poem Beowulf and its relationship with other literary encounters between heroes and dragons has been the subject of much scholarly debate; yet this is the first...
Bloomsbury Academic, 2020. — 232 p. 'Beowulf', one of the earliest poems in the English language, recounts a tale of heroism played out against the backdrop of Scandinavia in the 5th to 6th centuries AD. And yet, this Old English verse narrative set in Scandinavia is - a little surprisingly, perhaps - populated with names of German descent. This insight into the personal names...
Arc Humanities Press, 2022. — 136 p. Ever since Tolkien’s famous lecture in 1936, it has been generally accepted that the poem Beowulf is a fantasy, and of no use as a witness to real history. This book challenges that view, and argues that the poem provides a plausible, detailed, and consistent vision of pre-Viking history which is most unlikely to have been the poet’s...
