Description

Explore a new way to understand one of the most important works of Germanic Alliterative Verse. The Metre of Beowulf: A Constraint-Based Approach offers a fresh look at the rhythmic structure of this Old English epic poem. While the exact date and origin of Beowulf remain unknown, its status as a linguistic masterpiece is well-established. This volume utilizes recent advances in generative linguistics to provide a systematic analysis of the poem. For over a century, scholars have observed various metrical phenomena that lacked clear explanations. This book addresses those gaps by providing a framework that explains these patterns through a constraint-based method. It is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in the deep structure of Old English poetry and the evolution of linguistic theory.
