Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exhaustive study of various theories regarding the authorship of "The Dream of the Rood," an Old English poem of immense historical and literary value. The author begins by exploring the theory that the poem is by Cædmon, based on the Ruthwell Cross inscription. However, recent research suggests that this theory is unlikely. The book also examines Cynewulf as a possible author since he includes personal revelations in the epilogues of many of his poems. The author extensively analyzes the coincidences in thematic depth and rhetorical style between "The Dream of the Rood" and Cynewulf's established works. The author concludes that the poem's lyric intensity and haunting elegiac tone support Cynewulf's authorship, placing it within the broader context of Old English literature and shedding light on the literary and cultural significance of this enigmatic and captivating text.
