John M Hill

Narrative Pulse of Beowulf

Arrivals and Departures

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

John M. Hill discerns a distinctive 'narrative pulse' arising out of the poem's many scenes of arrival and departure. He argues that such scenes, far from being fixed or 'type' scenes, are socially dramatic and a key to understanding the structural density of the poem.
