This fifth, revised edition of Wrenn's Beowulf strives to retain the four distinctive features of the previous editions: textual conservatism, concise presentation, concentration on the needs of literary students, and Wrenn's superb erudition and experience. For the most part it leaves intact Wrenn's basic intentions and editorial decisions; with rare exceptions, they have been altered only because of new evidence that Wrenn could not have seen. Includes the Old English text of 'Beowulf' and the 'Finnesburg Fragment', with introduction, notes and glossary.

Introduction 1. The Manuscript 2. The Title 3. The Text 4. Date and Place of Origin 5. Narrative Content 6. Verse-Technique 7. Structure and Theme Select Bibliography List of Abbreviations
Few comprehensive discussions of the poem can equal Professor Wrenn’s introduction, in which the numerous complicated but necessary matters are explained in a brilliantly clear and readable fashion.
The acclaimed EMTS series makes a significant contribution to modern scholarship in the field of medieval and early Tudor studies by publishing high-quality new or revised scholarly editions and translations of important texts, and by making available critical and contextual studies by leading scholars in the field.
