Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Translation of the Anglo-Saxon Poem of Beowulf: With a Copious Glossary Preface and Philological Notes

With the mythic history of the North, I cannot suffer the erroneous views developed in my preface to continue as my recorded opinion, uncorrected, and unrefuted: it is due not only to myself, but to those who interest themselves with the antiquities of our native land, to cut away, root and branch, whatever is false in what I have published, and to add what upon maturer consideration seems likely to throw light upon the obscure and dificult subject with which we have to deal.
