Review: "The individual chapters by eighteen scholars offer both a rapid survey of scholarly trends in the study of Beowulf and a more sustained exploration of selected problems. Each chapter begins with a brief summary of its contents followed by an annotated chronology of the most important books and articles on the particular topic it treats. The core of each chapter constitutes a history of scholarly interest in the topic under consideration, a synthesis of present knowledge and opinion, and an analysis of scholarly work that remains to be done." "All of the chapters have been written to accommodate the needs of a broad audience - from nonspecialists who wish simply to read and enjoy Beowulf to scholars at work on their own research." https://www.amazon.com/Beowulf-Handbook-John-D-Niles/dp/0803261500/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2/134-7379324-4012266?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0803261500&pd_rd_r=311ed78b-d2b9-4ce3-8aca-cb22e8c9d6f7&pd_rd_w=34ncH&pd_rd_wg=T7nMc&pf_rd_p=09627863-9889-4290-b90a-5e9f86682449&pf_rd_r=3P3TS6TKM2C53SS626Q3&psc=1&refRID=3P3TS6TKM2C53SS626Q3
