He discusses theories of the origins of the poem, draws parallels between elements in Beowulf and in Celtic literary tradition, and suggests that the central plot of the poem, the conflict between Grendel and his mother, is "fundamentally indebted to Celtic folktale elements." The study is well documented and rich in references to Celtic literature, legend, and folklore. 606 $aCelts$xFolklore 606 $aHeroes in literature 606 $aDragons in literature 606 $aMonsters in literature 606 $aEnglish poetry$xCeltic influences 606 $aCeltic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature$xCeltic and English 606 $aComparative literature$xEnglish and Celtic 606 $aEpic poetry, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism 607 $aScandinavia$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCelts$xFolklore. 615 0$aHeroes in literature. 615 0$aDragons in literature. 615 0$aMonsters in literature. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xCeltic influences. 615 0$aCeltic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature$xCeltic and English. 615 0$aComparative literature$xEnglish and Celtic. 615 0$aEpic poetry, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a942.01 700 $aPuhvel$b Martin$f1933-$01231483 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154732203321 996 $aBeowulf and the Celtic Tradition$92859376 997 $aUNINA
