Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Old English epic poem Beowulf, an 8th-century text that relates the battles and adventures of the Geatish warrior Beowulf. The author sets out to challenge previous interpretations of the poem, arguing that the core narrative of Beowulf and some of its famous episodes, such as the hero's fight with the dragon, were originally part of a larger body of Old Norse sagas. Through a detailed comparison of Beowulf with the Gesta Danorum, a 12th-century work by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus, the author presents compelling evidence to demonstrate a connection between the two, supporting the theory that both works drew from a common source. The book also explores the historical and literary context of Beowulf, examining its place within the broader tradition of Germanic heroic poetry. Ultimately, the author provides a fresh perspective on this classic work, shedding new light on its origins, themes, and enduring significance.
