Book Synopsis
Bringing contemporary critical theory to bear on Beowulf, the author explores the literary originality of a poem often treated as oral and traditional.

Trade Review
"The boldness and originality of these arguments are a tonic to Anglo-Saxon studies, especially given the field's current stolid, almost mulishly conservative scholarship. Thinking About 'Beowulf' invites us to think along some very interesting lines."—Modern Philology.
