Beowulf - Hæleð under Heofonum

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study of the design of Beowulf examines the possible function of the 'digressions', the poet's concept of time, the nature of the hero and the generic status of the poem. Finally, a suggestion as to the possible intention of the poem is proposed.
