Pride and prodigies
This study of the Beowulf Manuscript approaches the manuscript within the context of Christian Latin texts, Old English, Irish and Old Norse literature. Exploring parallels in texts that contain similar accounts of monsters that bear resemblances to Grendel and his mother, while delving into medieval attitudes towards monsters and their views on Christian and heroic pride.
The very useful appendixes contain the texts and modern English translations of two key key texts from the Beowulf manuscript, Wonders of the East and Alexander's letter to Aristotle and then the Liber Monstrorum which contains a reference to Hygalec's raid on the Frisians, his monstrous size and the location of his grave.
