This book presents a passionate literary argument for \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e as a searching and subtle exploration of the human presence. Seamus Heaney praised \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e as \"a work of the greatest imaginative vitality\" how is that true? The poem's current scholarly obsessions and its popular reception have obscured the fact that this untitled and anonymous 3182-line poem from Anglo-Saxon England is a powerful and enduring work of world literature. \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e is an early medieval exercise in humanism: it dramatizes, in varied and complex ways, the conflict between human autonomy and the \"mind-forg'd manacles\" of the world. The poem is as relevant and moving to any reader today as it was during the early Middle Ages. This book serves both as an invitation and introduction to the poem as well as an intervention in its current scholarly context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Scheil=============Andrew Scheil is Professor of English at the University of Minnesota.
