Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an Anglo-Saxon expert, considers the second adventure in Beowulf, where the protagonist battles a monster in a mysterious haunted mere. The author presents new evidence to challenge conventional interpretations and offers a fascinating interpretation of the poem. This book contends that the description of the mere as a marsh, or sea, is inconsistent with the exact description of the natural landscape found in the Anglo-Saxon text. The author argues that this hazy and contradictory imagery is due to later Christian interpretations blending with the original pagan myths and legends upon which the story of Beowulf is based. This book will intrigue scholars of Anglo-Saxon literature, enthusiasts of the Beowulf epic, and those interested in the evolution of stories and folklore.
