Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the State of Literature and Learning Under the Anglo-Saxons: Introductory to the First Section of the Biographia Britannica Literaria of the Royal Society of Literature
It was the minstrel's duty, not only to tell the mythic his tory of the earlier ages, but to relate contemporary events, and to clothe in poetry the deeds which fell under his eye, to turn into derision the coward or the vanquished enemy, and to laud and exalt the conduct of his patrons. No sooner has Beowulf accomplished the defeat of the terrible Grendel, than the household hard of Hrothgar.
