| Zusammenfassung: | Beowulf is the longest and finest literary work to have come down to us from Anglo-Saxon times, and one of the world's greatest epic poems. Set in the half-legendary, half historical Scandinavian past, it tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing first the terrifying, demonic monster Grendel, and then Grendel's infuriated and vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf's own kingdom, Geatland, isthreatened by a fiery dragon; Beowulf heroically takes on this challenge, but himself dies killing the dragon. The poem celebrates the virtues of the heroic life, but Hrothgar and Beowulf are beacons of wisdom and courage in a dark world of feuds, violence and uncertainty, and Beowulf's selfless heroism is set against a background of ruthless power struggles, fratricide and tyranny. |

Anglo-Saxon times, and one of the world's greatest epic poems. Set in the half-legendary, half historical Scandinavian past, it tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing first the terrifying, demonic monster Grendel, and then Grendel's infuriated and vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf's own kingdom, Geatland, isthreatened by a fiery dragon; Beowulf heroically takes on this challenge, but himself dies killing the dragon. The poem celebrates the virtues of the heroic life, but Hrothgar and Beowulf are beacons of wisdom and courage in a dark world of feuds, violence and uncertainty, and Beowulf's selfless heroism is set against a background of ruthless power struggles, fratricide and tyranny.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Beowulf,</subfield><subfield code="c">King of the Geats</subfield><subfield code="v">Poetry.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Grendel</subfield><subfield code="c">(Monster)</subfield><subfield code="v">Poetry.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Beowulf,</subfield><subfield code="c">King of the Geats</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Grendel</subfield><subfield code="c">(Monster)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">English poetry</subfield><subfield code="y">Old English, ca. 450-1100</subfield><subfield code="v">Modernized versions.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh96007870</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Epic poetry, English (Old)</subfield><subfield code="v">Translations into English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Scandinavia</subfield><subfield code="v">Poetry.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Heroes</subfield><subfield code="v">Poetry.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Monsters</subfield><subfield code="v">Poetry.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Dragons</subfield><subfield code="v">Poetry.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Héros</subfield><subfield code="v">Poésie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Monstres</subfield><subfield code="v">Poésie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Dragons</subfield><subfield code="v">Poésie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Scandinavie</subfield><subfield code="v">Poésie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Dragons</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">English poetry</subfield><subfield code="x">Old English</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Epic poetry, English (Old)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Heroes</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Monsters</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Scandinavia</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpPCGQRXGcPmdjv6cCRKd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">450 - 1100</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Poetry</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Translations</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Crossley-Holland, Kevin,</subfield><subfield code="e">translator.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">O'Donoghue, Heather.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="730" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Fight at Finnsburg (Anglo-Saxon poem).</subfield><subfield code="l">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="740" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Fight at Finnsburh.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Beowulf (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFRKqxMjRm4K9HFgXyRKcX</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Beowulf.
