505 | 8 | |a The date of Beowulf, debated for almost a century, is a small question with large consequences. Does the poem provide us with an accurate if idealized view of early Germanic culture? Or is it rather a creature of nostalgia and imagination, born of the desire of a later age to create for itself a glorious past? If we cannot decide when, between the 5th and 11th centuries, the poem was composed, we cannot distinguish what elements in Beowulf belong properly to the history of material culture, to the history of myth and legend, to political history, or to the development of the English literary imagination.This book represents both individual and concerted attempts to deal with this important question, and presents one of the most important inconclusions in the study of Old English. The contributors raise so many doubts, turn up so much new and disturbing information, dismantle so many long-accepted scholarly constructs that Beowulf studies will never be the same: henceforth every discussion of the poem and its period will begin with reference to this volume | |

spelling | The Dating of Beowulf Colin Chase Toronto University of Toronto Press [2016] © 1997 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Toronto Old English Studies Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher’s Web site, viewed Jan. 06, 2016) The date of Beowulf, debated for almost a century, is a small question with large consequences. Does the poem provide us with an accurate if idealized view of early Germanic culture? Or is it rather a creature of nostalgia and imagination, born of the desire of a later age to create for itself a glorious past? If we cannot decide when, between the 5th and 11th centuries, the poem was composed, we cannot distinguish what elements in Beowulf belong properly to the history of material culture, to the history of myth and legend, to political history, or to the development of the English literary imagination.This book represents both individual and concerted attempts to deal with this important question, and presents one of the most important inconclusions in the study of Old English. The contributors raise so many doubts, turn up so much new and disturbing information, dismantle so many long-accepted scholarly constructs that Beowulf studies will never be the same: henceforth every discussion of the poem and its period will begin with reference to this volume Beowulf (DE-588)4128795-2 gnd rswk-swf Civilization, Anglo-Saxon Chronology England Civilization To 1066 Chronology Epic poetry, English (Old) Chronology Manuscript dating Textgeschichte (DE-588)4117192-5 gnd rswk-swf Manuskript (DE-588)4126273-6 gnd rswk-swf Datierung (DE-588)4113278-6 gnd rswk-swf Handschrift (DE-588)4023287-6 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content 2\p (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 1980 Toronto gnd-content Beowulf (DE-588)4128795-2 u Datierung (DE-588)4113278-6 s 3\p DE-604 Manuskript (DE-588)4126273-6 s 4\p DE-604 Textgeschichte (DE-588)4117192-5 s 5\p DE-604 Handschrift (DE-588)4023287-6 s 6\p DE-604 Chase, Colin Sonstige oth http://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781442657519 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
