Accessible to high school students, general readers, and undergraduates, this companion overviews the poem and its legacy. The initial chapters review the plot of Beowulf, while later chapters discuss its style and language, its cultural and historical contexts, and its afterlife in contemporary popular culture.||The first part of the book provides information of interest to a wide range of readers, w 606 $aEpic poetry, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aMonsters in literature$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aDragons in literature$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aHeroes in literature$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 607 $aScandinavia$xIn literature$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEpic poetry, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aMonsters in literature 615 0$aDragons in literature 615 0$aHeroes in literature 676 $a829/.3 700 $aJohnston$b Ruth A$0948444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455215103321 996 $aA companion to Beowulf$92144000 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01276nam 2200253la 450 001 9910481796903321 005 20221108104308.0 035 $a(UK-CbPIL)2090327598 035 $a(CKB)5500000000085902 035 $a(EXLCZ)995500000000085902 100 $a20210618d1590 uy | 101 0 $alat 135 $aurcn||||a|bb| 200 10$aLibellvs Antonij Nigri de decem praecipvis erroribvs, et abvsibus, propter quos apud nonnullas gentes præclara Medicinæ ars, mulierculis, Judæis ac impostoribus, veluti prædæ relicta, misereque infamata, constuprataque jaceat Ranzovianis impensis in lucem revocatus ..$b[electronic resource] 210 $aHamburg $cJacobus Wolff$d1590 215 $aOnline resource (46 s.) 300 $aReproduction of original in Det Kongelige Bibliotek / The Royal Library (Copenhagen). 700 $aNiger$b Antonius$f1555.$0924978 801 0$bUk-CbPIL 801 1$bUk-CbPIL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910481796903321 996 $aLibellvs Antonij Nigri de decem praecipvis erroribvs, et abvsibus, propter quos apud nonnullas gentes præclara Medicinæ ars, mulierculis, Judæis ac impostoribus, veluti prædæ relicta, misereque infamata, constuprataque jaceat Ranzovianis impensis in lucem revocatus .$92076032 997 $aUNINA
