Beowulf Book

I don't know if Chambers' Beowulf, An Introduction remains the most comprehensive study of the poem Beowulf, but it certainly is the most comprehensive study I've read. Chambers discusses theories he adheres to and theories he can't support, but he always walks through a step-by-step explanation as to where he stands. One rarely sees such willingness to consider various viewpoints. I discovered Chambers through his text on the poem "Widsith" and having read and reread that book, Chambers has become a familiar voice. He is a delightful scholar and writer.
