The poet calls on Anglo-Saxon readers to recognize the imperfect aspects of their supposed Christian lifestyles. Beowulf klimt in de ring!Beowulf, los gebaseerd op het gelijknamige heldendicht, is een worstelaar die zijn terugkeer maakt na een lange hiaat. The events prompt a long reflection by the king, sometimes referred to as "Hrothgar's sermon", in which he urges Beowulf to be wary of pride and to reward his thegns. When the dragon sees that the cup has been stolen, it leaves its cave in a rage, burning everything in sight. [33] More recent scholars from Adrien Bonjour onwards note that the digressions can all be explained as introductions or comparisons with elements of the main story;[34][35] for instance, Beowulf's swimming home across the sea from Frisia carrying thirty sets of armour[36] emphasises his heroic strength. Some suggest that Beowulf was first composed in the 7th century at Rendlesham in East Anglia, as the Sutton Hoo ship-burial shows close connections with Scandinavia, and the East Anglian royal dynasty, the Wuffingas, may have been descendants of the Geatish Wulfings. [60], Other scholars disagree as to whether Beowulf is a Christian work set in a Germanic pagan context. After Beowulf dies, Wiglaf remains by his side, grief-stricken. When the western mound (to the left in the photo) was excavated in 1874, the finds showed that a powerful man was buried in a large barrow, c. 575, on a bear skin with two dogs and rich grave offerings. [74], The question of whether Beowulf was passed down through oral tradition prior to its present manuscript form has been the subject of much debate, and involves more than simply the issue of its composition. Beowulf descends to do battle with the dragon, but finds himself outmatched. He argues that the term "shoulder-companion" could refer to both a physical arm as well as a thane (Aeschere) who was very valuable to his lord (Hrothgar). Een slaaf ontdekt een grot. Were those the prayers of a pagan who used phrases the Christians subsequently appropriated? iemand te grijpen in de grote zaal; [72] Liuzza notes that Beowulf itself describes the technique of a court poet in assembling materials, in lines 867–874 in his translation, "full of grand stories, mindful of songs ... found other words truly bound together; ... to recite with skill the adventure of Beowulf, adeptly tell a tall tale, and (wordum wrixlan) weave his words.

Travelling further into Grendel's mother's lair, Beowulf discovers Grendel's corpse and severs his head with the sword. Toen merkte hij, die eerder vele, de mond van de zaal; direct daarna [121] The story of Hrolf Kraki and his servant, the legendary bear-shapeshifter Bodvar Bjarki has also been suggested as a possible parallel; he survives in Hrólfs saga kraka and Saxo's Gesta Danorum, while Hrolf Kraki, one of the Scyldings, appears as "Hrothulf" in Beowulf. [52], The claim to an early 11th-century date depends in part on scholars who argue that, rather than the transcription of a tale from the oral tradition by an earlier literate monk, Beowulf reflects an original interpretation of an earlier version of the story by the manuscript's two scribes. The difficulty of translating Beowulf has been explored by scholars including J. R. R. Tolkien (in his essay "On Translating Beowulf"), who worked on a verse and a prose translation of his own. Grendel's moeder lijkt te winnen tegen de Geat, maar hij steekt haar met een zwaard in het hol.

On the other hand, some scholars argue that linguistic, palaeographical (handwriting), metrical (poetic structure), and onomastic (naming) considerations align to support a date of composition in the first half of the eighth century;[53][54][55] in particular, the poem's apparent observation of etymological vowel-length distinctions in unstressed syllables (described by Kaluza's law) has been thought to demonstrate a date of composition prior to the earlier ninth century. [24] Grendel and Beowulf battle each other violently. "[159] Greenfield argues the foot is used for the opposite effect, only appearing four times in the poem.

[h] Puhvel supported the "Hand and the Child" theory through such motifs as (in Andersson's words) "the more powerful giant mother, the mysterious light in the cave, the melting of the sword in blood, the phenomenon of battle rage, swimming prowess, combat with water monsters, underwater adventures, and the bear-hug style of wrestling. [111] Translating Beowulf is one of the subjects of the 2012 publication Beowulf at Kalamazoo, containing a section with 10 essays on translation, and a section with 22 reviews of Heaney's translation,some of which compare Heaney's work with Liuzza's. [100][101], In 2000 (2nd edition 2013), Liuzza published his own version of Beowulf in a parallel text with the Old English,[102] with his analysis of the poem's historical, oral, religious and linguistic contexts.

[139], It cannot be denied that Biblical parallels occur in the text, whether seen as a pagan work with "Christian colouring" added by scribes or as a "Christian historical novel, with selected bits of paganism deliberately laid on as 'local colour'", as Margaret E. Goldsmith did in "The Christian Theme of Beowulf". [10] This concerns not only individuals (e.g., Healfdene, Hroðgar, Halga, Hroðulf, Eadgils and Ohthere), but also clans (e.g., Scyldings, Scylfings and Wulfings) and certain events (e.g., the battle between Eadgils and Onela).

There is little use of rhyme, and no fixed number of beats or syllables; the verse is alliterative, meaning that each line is in two halves, separated by a caesura, and linked by the presence of stressed syllables with similar sounds. Examples are line 8's weox under wolcnum ("waxed under welkin", i.e. is rendered "Bro!".

[50][51] However, scholars disagree about whether the metrical phenomena described by Kaluza's Law prove an early date of composition or are evidence of a longer prehistory of the Beowulf metre;[56] B.R. In this thesis, the trend of appropriating Gothic royal ancestry, established in Francia during Charlemagne's reign, influenced the Anglian kingdoms of Britain to attribute to themselves a Geatish descent. It relocates the action to a wealthy community in 20th century America and is told primarily from the point of view of Grendel's mother.

When Beowulf the Geat hears in Gautland of the raids of Grendel upon Hart, he commands his folk to make ready a boat that he may fare across the sea to the help of Hrothgar, because ‘he was lacking in warriors.’ Beowulf’s whole mission in Hart was the discharge of a solemn obligation of help from the strong to the weak. [49][50][51] An analysis of several Old English poems by a team including Neidorf suggests that Beowulf is the work of a single author. It has no title in the original manuscript, but has become known by the name of the story's protagonist. Zij worden vrienden. The ownership of the codex before Nowell remains a mystery. He made one himself, and had another done by a professional copyist who knew no Old English (and was therefore in some ways more likely to make transcription errors, but in other ways more likely to copy exactly what he saw). [161] In this context, the poem operates as an indictment of feuding conflicts as a function of its conspicuous, circuitous, and lengthy depiction of the Geatish-Swedish wars—coming into contrast with the poem's depiction of the protagonist Beowulf as being disassociated from the ongoing feuds in every way.[161]. Rebinding efforts, though saving the manuscript from much degeneration, have nonetheless covered up other letters of the poem, causing further loss. [29] Grendel's mother violently kills Æschere, who is Hrothgar's most loyal fighter, and escapes. [154] The relationship between the characters of Beowulf, and the overall message of the poet, regarding their relationship with God is debated among readers and literary critics alike. [88] In 1895, William Morris and A. J. Wyatt published the ninth English translation. "[160], Daniel Podgorski has argued that the work is best understood as an examination of inter-generational vengeance-based conflict, or feuding. By 2020, the Beowulf's Afterlives Bibliographic Database listed some 688 translations and other versions of the poem. "[73] The poem further mentions (lines 1065-1068) that "the harp was touched, tales often told, when Hrothgar's scop was set to recite among the mead tables his hall-entertainment". strijder uit zijn rust, rijkte naar hem This theory of Homer's influence on Beowulf remained very prevalent in the 1920s, but started to die out in the following decade when a handful of critics stated that the two works were merely "comparative literature",[136] although Greek was known in late 7th century England: Bede states that Theodore of Tarsus, a Greek, was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 668, and he taught Greek. since hremig; sægenga bad. afgesneden van vrolijkheid; de deur opende spoedig, de ongure verwoester was van plan van de mensheid [45], The dating of Beowulf has attracted considerable scholarly attention; opinion differs as to whether it was first written in the 8th century, whether it was nearly contemporary with its eleventh century manuscript, and whether a proto-version (possibly a version of the Bear's Son Tale) was orally transmitted before being transcribed in its present form. He attacks the dragon with the help of his thegns or servants, but they do not succeed. Grendel gelopen, Gods woede droeg hij; For example, a poet might call the sea the "swan's riding"; a king might be called a "ring-giver." The manuscript measures 245 × 185 mm.

Robert F. Yeager describes the basis for these questions:[156], That the scribes of Cotton Vitellius A.XV were Christian [is] beyond doubt, and it is equally sure that Beowulf was composed in a Christianised England since conversion took place in the sixth and seventh centuries.

Beovulf, Beowulf eller Bjovulf er hovedpersonen i Beovulfkvadet, et angelsaksisk heltekvad. [97][96], In 1805, the historian Sharon Turner translated selected verses into modern English. [153], In terms of the relationship between characters in Beowulf to God, one might recall the substantial amount of paganism that is present throughout the work. This date of composition largely agrees with Lapidge's positing of a West-Saxon exemplar c.900. het lichaam van het leven te beroven, nu overkwam hem “Beowulf” is a heroic epic poem written by an unknown author in Old English, some time between the 8th and the 10th Century CE. In 1926, Albert S. Cook suggested a Homeric connection due to equivalent formulas, metonymies, and analogous voyages. [6][7] Others have associated this poem with the court of King Alfred the Great or with the court of King Cnut the Great. Het gedicht zoals het in het manuscript werd aangetroffen had geen titel, maar sinds het begin van de 19e eeuw staat het onder de naam Beowulf bekend. Beowulf and his warriors come to fight the dragon, but Beowulf tells his men that he will fight the dragon alone and that they should wait on the barrow. These are important in helping historians understand the Beowulf manuscript, as possible source-texts or influences would suggest time-frames of composition, geographic boundaries within which it could be composed, or range (both spatial and temporal) of influence (i.e. [98] Seamus Heaney's 1999 translation of the poem (Beowulf: A New Verse Translation, called "Heaneywulf" by Howell Chickering and many others[99]) was both praised and criticized. Smith's catalogue appeared in 1696, and Wanley's in 1705. Carrying the hilt of the sword and Grendel's head, he presents them to Hrothgar upon his return to Heorot.

The protagonist Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, king of the Danes, whose great hall, Heorot, is plagued by the monster Grendel. Beowulf himself looks the part, with the body of Adonis and a full head of hair - but the second that Ray Winstone speaks, the whole film jumps the shark and the only sane response is to snigger. [152], In historical terms, the poem's characters were Norse pagans (the historical events of the poem took place before the Christianisation of Scandinavia), yet the poem was recorded by Christian Anglo-Saxons who had mostly converted from their native Anglo-Saxon paganism around the 7th century – both Anglo-Saxon paganism and Norse paganism share a common origin as both are forms of Germanic paganism. [145][146][147], Kennings are a significant technique in Beowulf. The composition of Beowulf was the fruit of the later adaptation of this trend in Alfred's policy of asserting authority over the Angelcynn, in which Scyldic descent was attributed to the West-Saxon royal pedigree. [58], The location of the poem's composition is intensely disputed. The raid by King Hygelac into Frisia is mentioned by Gregory of Tours in his History of the Franks and can be dated to around 521.
