The Dating of Beowulf by Colin Chase

The Dating of Beowulf by Colin Chase

The date of Beowulf, debated for almost a century, is a small question with large ramifications. This collection of essays by leading scholars has become a standard reference for scholarship in the area.

'It is rare to have so much information on a crucial issue in medieval literature concentrated in one place, and there is no doubt that these proceedings will become a standard reference work for several decades'

-- Theodore M. Andersson * University of Toronto Quarterly *

'The book as a whole sacrifices a few sacred cows, and it forces its readers to think again.'

-- The Year's Work in English Studies

'A challenge to so many long accepted scholarly constructs that Beowulf studies will never be the same again.'

-- Medieval and Renaissance Studies

The late Colin Chase (1935-1984) was a member of the Department of English and of the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.
