- This monograph (pp. xii + 214) represents the outcome of ten years' research on Germanic personal naming practices in the early Middle Ages, addressing central problems in the transmission of early Germanic heroic narrative traditions. This required extensive data collection involving a wide range of primary sources, including epigraphic, literary and documentary texts from the British Isles, Scandinavia, Europe and North Africa. The seven chapters present a thoroughgoing treatment of personal names in Beowulf, shedding new light on its genesis and literary and historical contexts.
