ENGLISH 270A: Text in Context: Beowulf from Then `til Now
"Beowulf" is the first great English epic--a tale of heroes, monsters, and the futility of conflict. It influenced the "Lord of the Rings", but was described as a 'featureless heap of gangrened elephant's sputum' by novelist Kingsley Amis. It exists in one early eleventh-century manuscript plus countless editions, translations, films, comic books and, now, a fully digitized e-manuscript. We shall experience manifold instances of "Beowulf" and ask what, then, is the 'text' of "Beowulf"? What constitutes the 'real' poem? Can we reclaim an 'original' work of art and should that even be part of the scholarly endeavor?
