Excerpt from Some Disputed Questions in Beowulf-Criticism
Jonsson, pp. 141 - 142, Herrmann, p. 75. These two passages are para phrased by Ulrik, Heltedigtning, pp. 116 - 117. Indeed, it is best not to attempt to render the elaborate rhymes and repetitions of the original too literally, cf. Herrmann's note, p. 2. The sense is occasionally Obscure, and the ms. Defective.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf, which explores its historical and literary significance. The author examines the poem's Scandinavian analogues, such as the Hrà lf Kraki's Saga, and argues that similarities between the two works are the result of late influence of Beowulf on the Scandinavian saga rather than an indication of a common early source. The book also delves into the mythological elements of Beowulf, exploring the possibility of their determination and discussing the significance of the poem's insights on the relationship between myth and history.
