The purpose of this guide is to answer a few of the major questions about 'Beowulf' for those who want no more than that, and to map the way into a complex area of scholarship for those who wish to go farther. Chapters include discussions of the main plot, historical sub-plot, the Pagan-Christian "problem" in 'Beowulf', structure, and style. And the author also includes a list of recommended books for further study.
