Its wide-ranging coverage of scholarship, its comprehensive philological aids, & its exceptionally thorough notes & glossary have ensured its continued use in spite of the fact that the book has remained largely unaltered since 1936. The Fourth Edition has been prepared w/ the aim of updating the scholarship while preserving the aspects of Klaeber's work that have made it useful to students of literature, linguists, historians, folklorists, manuscript specialists, archaeologists, & theorists of culture. A revised Introduction & Commentary incorporates the vast store of scholarship on "Beowulf" that has appeared since 1950. It brings readers up to date on areas of scholarship that have been controversial since the last edition, including the construction of the unique manuscript & views on the poem's date & unity of composition. The lightly revised text incorporates the best textual criticism of the intervening years, & the expanded Commentary furnishes detailed bibliographic guidance to discussion of textual cruces, as well as to modern & contemporary critical concerns. Aids to pronunciation have been added to the text, & advances in the study of the poem's language are addressed throughout. Readers will find that the book remains recognizably Klaeber's work, but w/ altered & added features designed to render it as useful today as it has ever been. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: R.D.
