Reviews

'It is rare to have so much information on a crucial issue in medieval literature concentrated in one place, and there is no doubt that these proceedings will become a standard reference work for several decades.'
*University of Toronto Quarterly*

'The book as a whole sacrifices a few sacred cows, and it forces its readers to think again.'
*The Year's Work in English Studies*

'A challenge to so many long accepted scholarly constructs that Beowulf studies will never be the same again.'
*Medieval and Renaissance Studies*
