Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the earliest surviving major work of literature in Old English, preserving a pagan legend that was later Christianised. It features many themes common in the Old English poems and pre-Christian Germanic mythology, including comitatus (loyalty to one's lord), the importance of reputation and glory, and the ever-present threat of death. Written in the 8th century, the author blended history, myth, and Christian teachings together to create an epic about the hero Beowulf, a Geatish warrior, who travels to the lands of the Danes to help King Hrothgar rid his kingdom of the monster Grendel. The poem explores the protagonist's heroic virtues, as well as complex themes such as good versus evil and the inevitability of fate. It provides a valuable glimpse into the values and beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon people.
