The main focus is on the difficulties imposed by the allusive and incomplete nature of the Episode, this lack of clarity is based on the assumption of contextual knowledge regarding the events and relationships described. Through weighing up the various probabilities attached to ambiguous statements, the author attempts to formulate a more complete perspective on the text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Beowulf, Old English, and the history of literary criticism.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
