Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reviews and analyzes the traditional theory that the epic poem Beowulf is a composite text, made up of diverse, possibly contradictory, sources. The author disputes this theory, examining the poem as a unified whole and arguing for the coherency of its structure and ideas. The author draws upon external, comparative evidence, examining repetitions, contradictions, irrelevancies, and gaps in the narrative, themes common to Anglo-Saxon poetry, and the influence of Christian and pagan sources. This book shows that seeming inconsistencies stem from the idiosyncrasies of Anglo-Saxon poetic style and that the presence of Christian and pagan elements does not indicate multiple authorship. It concludes that Beowulf is not a cobbled-together text but a singular work of great depth and thematic unity, reflecting the cultural milieu of Anglo-Saxon England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331784340_0
