Beowulf: Edited, With Introduction, Bibliography, Notes, Glossary, and Appendices (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Beowulf: Edited, With Introduction, Bibliography, Notes, Glossary, and Appendices
The present edition of the Beowulf was undertaken primarily with the view of furnishing the editor's own students with more help than could be obtained from existing English editions, but it is hoped that it may find acceptance with a larger public. During recent years the poem has been subjected to a minute scrutiny by experts whose researches have thrown a great deal of fresh light on obscure points both in the interpretation of the text and in the matter of origins. Many of the results of these investigations are embodied in the following pages.
The preparation of the text has involved more arduous labour than perhaps any other part of the book; every departure from the ms. Has been carefully considered, and duly recorded in each case in the textual footnotes.
