Description

This scholarly work presents a novel treatment of Beowulf's metre, the Old English epic poem recognised as one of the gems of Germanic Alliterative Verse. Building on recent advances in generative linguistics, the analysis offers compelling explanations for metrical phenomena that have been observed but poorly understood for over a century. The book delivers rigorous linguistic insights into the complex metrical structures of this foundational text, making it essential reading for scholars of Old English poetry, historical linguistics, and Germanic languages. Ideal for university libraries, linguistics departments, and researchers studying alliterative verse traditions and their underlying phonological and syntactic constraints.

Key Features

The Metre of Beowulf applies constraint-based generative linguistics to explain century-old metrical phenomena in Old English epic verse.

Part of the Topics in English Linguistics (TiEL) series from De Gruyter Mouton, providing peer-reviewed academic scholarship on language structures.

Offers novel insights into Germanic Alliterative Verse through systematic analysis of Beowulf's complex metrical patterns and constraints.

Serves scholars, linguists, and researchers studying Old English poetry, historical phonology, and the development of English language systems.
