It is hard to imagine a more thorough introduction.
*THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW*
Earns a place among the indispensable works of Beowulf scholarship.
Sensibly organised, elegantly written, and thoroughly referenced,
it is both learned and accessible, inviting for students...but
insightful enough to engage experienced readers.... Any reader of
Beowulf will find much pleasure in this book, and it is a worthy
companion indeed.
*MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW*
Clearly the product of deep and thoughtful scholarship, it applies
its critical approach with confidence and flair. This authoritative
book is full of ideas and insights.
*ENGLISH STUDIES*
Could have been twice as long without losing its interest. It
outlines, usually in terms that will be accessible to students, a
wide range of critical issues. [...] A landmark study.and likely to
be the reference one turns to for succinct and intelligent
treatment of many issues in the poem.
