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 $aCeltic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCelts$vFolklore 615 0$aCeltic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCelts 676 $a942.01 700 $aPuhvel$b Martin$f1933-$01231483 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154732203321 996 $aBeowulf and Celtic tradition$94185571 997 $aUNINA
