Paperback. Condizione: New. This book considers evidence for Germanic goddesses in England and on the Continent, and argues that modern scholarship has tended to focus too heavily on the notion of divine functions or spheres of activity, such as fertility or warfare, rather than considering the extent to which goddesses are rooted in localities and social structures - such local religious manifestations are more important to Germanic paganisms than is often supposed, and should caution us against assumptions of pan-Germanic traditional beliefs. Linguistic and onomastic evidence is not always well integrated into discussions of historical developments in the early Middle Ages, and this book provides both an introduction to the models and methods employed throughout, and a model for further research into the linguistic evidence for traditional beliefs among the Germanic-speaking communities of early medieval Europe.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Beowulf, one of the earliest poems in the English language, recounts a tale of heroism played out against the backdrop of Scandinavia in the 5th to 6th centuries AD. And yet, this Old English verse narrative set in Scandinavia is a little surprisingly, perhaps populated with names of German descent.This insight into the personal names of Beowulf acts the starting point for Philip A. Shaws innovative and nuanced study. As Shaw reveals, the origins of these personal names provide important evidence for the origins of Beowulf as it enables us to situate the poem fully in its continental contexts. As such, this book is not only a much-needed reassessment of Beowulf's beginnings, but also sheds new light on the links between Beowulf and other continental narrative traditions, such as the Scandinavian sagas and Continental German heroics. In doing so, Names and Naming in Beowulf takes readers beyond the continuing debate over the dating of the poem and provides a compelling new model for the poems origins.
