Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Studies on the Ballad Theory of the Beowulf: Together With an Introductory Sketch of Opinion When the disputed question of the ballad theory of the Beowulf was suggested to me by Professor Bright as a subject for research, the purpose was formed of giving a review of the whole problem. This, however, like most first intentions, required modification; as a survey of the large amount of extant critical writing upon the subject would swamp in a mass of reviews such material as I have been able to add. Two of the unsolved problems connected with the theory have, therefore, been attacked separately; and the results are embodied in two distinct studies; while their relations to the theory as a whole are sketched in the introduction. My best thanks are due, for assistance in the work, to Professor Bright, under whom my studies have been prosecuted. After the first study was completed, I was made aware of an unpublished paper, by Professor O. F. Emerson, of Cleveland, Ohio, entitled The Legends of Cain and his Descendants in Old and Middle English Literature, a paper which had been read before the Modern Language Association of America. This Professor Emerson has kindly permitted me to read and quote. I desire to extend my thanks for his courtesy. I am also indebted to Dr. C. W. E. Miller and Dr. B. J. Vos for assistance with references in Greek and German. The numbering of lines is that of the Grein-Wülker Bibliothek, except in the case of the Beowulf where the numbering of Heyne has been followed. The word, parenthesis, is used in the sense of rhetorical, or episodic, not of syntactic, parenthesis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
