Beowulf: The Foundations of the Text. [From: NSES Bulletin, Vol. 1, No. 1, April

We all learnt the basic facts at university, and they were clear enough. But ten years ago the subject suddenly became undeservedly controversial, and when it seemed that that particular fire was being more or less smothered, in 1987 a new one was lit in a far more knowledgeable quarter, and one that was meant to consume not merely Beowulf, but virtually the whole of Old English poetry, with the meagre exception of Caedmons Hymn, Bedes Death Song, the Leiden Riddle, and The Dream of the Rood, some forty lines in all.
