The heat of Beowulf develops a new approach to the aesthetics of
Beowulf by engaging with the work of twentieth-century poets Robin
Blaser and Jack Spicer, whose avant-garde poetics were informed by
a serious encounter with the poem in the seminar of medievalist
Arthur G. Brodeur. By considering Blaser's and Spicer's poetics as
they were shaped by their encounter with Beowulf, the book is able
to open up questions about the non-representational poetics of the
poem, rebooting a mid-century approach to aesthetics on a new
critical trajectory. The book considers the poem's aesthetics
through relationship translation theory, as well as early medieval
discourses of sensory-affective experience and twentieth-century
phenomenology. The heat of Beowulf reexamines the scholarship on
Old English poetics from the mid-twentieth century as it
intersected with post-war avant-garde poetics, and how
understanding these critical histories can reshape how we read
Beowulf now. -- .
