About the contributors
Reviews
-
Could it be true that narrative elements of Beowulf originated on the continent and were transmitted to early England in both written and oral form? These are the exciting conclusions of Philip A. Shaw, who analyzes the poem's personal names and ethnonyms as evidence of layered composition. Shaw's virtuosic book has given Beowulf a compelling ancestry.
Scott Gwara, Professor of English, University of South Carolina, USA

Philip A. Shaw's erudite, painstaking and ingenious survey of the names of all the human figures in Beowulf is one of the most significant contributions for years to scholarship on this famous poem. All those interested in the origins and transmission of Beowulf's story world will want to read it.
Richard Dance, Reader in Early English, University of Cambridge, UK.
