Reviews

Neidorf (Nanjing Univ., China) offers a refreshingly original approach to the Old English epic poem Beowulf. The author is convincing and thorough in making his arguments, which he presents in three concise chapters. In the first chapter, he contextualizes Beowulf within the larger tradition of Scandinavian and Germanic literature and explores marked departures that distinguish it. * Choice *
