Following the Formula in Beowulf, OErvar-Odds saga, and Tolkien
proposes that Beowulf was composed according to a formula. Michael
Fox imagines the process that generated the poem and provides a
model for reading it, extending this model to investigate formula
in a half-line, a fitt, a digression, and a story-pattern or
folktale, including the Old-Norse Icelandic OErvar-Odds saga. Fox
also explores how J. R. R. Tolkien used the same formula to write
Sellic Spell and The Hobbit. This investigation uncovers
relationships between oral and literate composition, between
mechanistic composition and author, and between listening and
reading audiences, arguing for a contemporary relevance for Beowulf
in thinking about the creative process.
