The Origins of Beowulf: And the Pre-Viking Kingdom of East AngliaDS Brewer, 1994 - 212 halaman A detailed and passionate argument suggesting that Beowulf originated in the pre-Viking kingdom of 8th-century East Anglia. Where did Beowulf, unique and thrilling example of an Old English epic poem come from? In whose hall did the poem's maker first tell the tale? The poem exists now in just one manuscript, but careful study of the literary and historical associations reveals striking details which lead Dr Newton to claim, as he pieces together the various clues, a specific origin for the poem. SAMNEWTON was awarded his Ph.D. for work on Beowulf. |
