The author traces and evaluates the possible influences of Celtic tradition on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf. He discusses theories of the origins of the poem, draws parallels between elements in Beowulf and in Celtic literary tradition, and suggests that the central plot of the poem, the conflict with Grendel and his mother, is "fundamentally indebted to Celtic folktale elements." The study is well documented and rich in references to Celtic literature, legend, and folklore.

Download Beowulf and Christianity Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book explores the reasons for Christian stories and ideas in Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxon epic poem that also describes pagan religious and burial practices. By examining historical, archaeological, and linguistic sources, Mary Parker evaluates the possibilities for Christian understanding on the part of the audience and Christian teaching on the part of the poet. These inquiries lead to an informed review of the critical literature on the Christianity in Beowulf. Finally the author looks at individual speakers in the poem and words they use that reveal Christian meaning. This multi-disciplinary summary and review concludes that the Christianity in Beowulf is a reflection of the society that produced it, a heroic society in transition toward the new Christian value system.

In this important contribution to Anglo-Saxon studies Dr Goldsmith presents a fully elaborated and documented interpretation of Beowulf based on the original theories which she has put forward in recent years and which have aroused considerable interest and controversy in scholarly circles. Her view of the poem as the product of a marriage of cultural traditions, a historical epic with allegorical significance, is developed in the context of a close analysis of the doctrinal and literary environment prevailing during the period A.D. 650-800, within which composition is placed. Dr Goldsmith seeks to show that the poem has a unified and coherent structure and in the process resolves many textual and interpretative problems of long standing. Beowulf is clearly seen as a serious work of art standing at the head of the vernacular tradition of allegorical poetry.
