These avant-garde poets, influenced by a profound engagement with the poem in the seminar of medievalist Arthur G. Brodeur, brought a fresh perspective to their poetics. By examining the influence of Beowulf on Blaser and Spicer's artistic expressions, the book uncovers intriguing questions about the poem's non-representational poetics. This revitalizes a mid-century aesthetic approach, embarking on a new critical trajectory. The book explores the poem's aesthetics through the lens of relationship translation theory, as well as early medieval discourses on sensory-affective experiences and twentieth-century phenomenology. Furthermore, The heat of Beowulf reevaluates the scholarship on Old English poetics from the mid-twentieth century, focusing on its intersection with post-war avant-garde poetics. By understanding these critical histories, we gain a deeper understanding of how to approach Beowulf today, shedding new light on its rich and complex artistic merits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781526150585\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel C.Remein","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44099541500154,"sku":"9781526150585","price":75.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1670596884909_book.jpg?v=1670830561","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-heat-of-beowulf-9781526150585","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
