The most original and ground-breaking work on Beowulf in several
decades, this book uses "lexomic" methods that blend
computer-assisted statistical analysis with traditional approaches
to reveal new and surprising information about the construction and
sources of the greatest surviving Old English poem. Techniques of
cluster analysis identify patterns of vocabulary distribution that
indicate robust similarities and differences among segments of the
poem. The correlation of these patterns with knowledge gained from
source-study, philological analysis, and neglected previous
scholarship sheds new light on the material of which Beowulf was
made and the way it was composed. The implications of this
investigation for the dating, structure, and cultural context of
Beowulf will overturn the current scholarly consensus and
significantly improve our understanding of the poem, its nature,
and origins.
