Articoli correlati a Beowulf and the Beowulf Manuscript
The story of Beowulf and his hard-fought victory over the monster Grendel has captured the imagination of readers and listeners for a millennium. The heroic Anglo-Saxon story survives to the world in one eleventh-century manuscript that was badly burned in 1731, and in two eighteenth-century transcriptions of the manuscripts.
Kevin S. Kiernan, one of the world's foremost Beowulf scholars, has studied the manuscript extensively with the most up-to-date methods, including fiber-optic backlighting and computer digitization. This volume reprints Kiernan's earlier study of the manuscript, in which he presented his novel conclusions about the date of Beowulf. It also offers a new Introduction in which the author describes the value of electronic study ofBeowulf, and a new Appendix that lists all the letters and parts of letters revealed by backlighting.
This important volume will be a must-read not only for the scholar of early English history and literature, but for all those who are interested in practical applications of the new technologies.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Gut. 328 p. Very well preserved copy, without annotations.- When this book first appeared in 1981 most scholars agreed that Beowulf was an early eight century poem and few of them had shown any interest in the early eleventh century manuscript in The British Library has become a new focus of interest as historians, linguists, literary critics, theorists, palaeographers, and codicologists all debate issues, Beowulf and the Beowulff Manuscript remains at the centre of these debates. - This new revised paperback edition includes as an appendix The state of the Beowulf manuscript, 1882-1983 , a record of hundreds of letters and parts of letters revealed by fibre-optic backlighting along the damaged edges of the manuscript.
