The story of Beowulf and his hardfought victory over the monster Grendel has captured the imagination of readers and listeners for a millennium. The heroic AngloSaxon story survives to the world in one eleventhcentury manuscript that was badly burned in 1731, and in two eighteenthcentury transcriptions of the manuscripts.Kevin S. Kiernan, one of the world's foremost Beowulf scholars, has studied the manuscript extensively with the most uptodate methods, including fiberoptic backlighting and computer digitization. This volume reprints Kiernan's earlier study of the manuscript, in which he presented his novel conclusions about the date of Beowulf. It also offers a new Introduction in which the author describes the value of electronic study of Beowulf, and a new Appendix that lists all the letters and parts of letters revealed by backlighting.This important volume will be a mustread not only for the scholar of early English history and literature, but for all those who are interested in practical applications of the new technologies.
