Chapter XLIII: Appendix: A. a Postscript on Mythology in Beowulf (5)

Text size

1907 HUYSHE, W. Beowulf ... translated into ... prose ("Appendix: The
Fight at Finn's burgh"). London. ("Translation," to quote Clark Hall,
"apparently such as might have been compiled from previous translations
by a person ignorant of Ags. Some original mistakes.") Reviews:
_Athenaeum_, 1907, II, 96 ("Mr Huyshe displays sad ignorance of Old
{394} English ... but an assiduous study of the work of his
predecessors has preserved him from misrepresenting seriously the
general sense of the text"); _Notes and Queries_, Ser. X, vol. VIII,
58; Garnett, _Amer. Jnl. Philol._ XXIX, 344-6; Klaeber, _Anglia,
Beiblatt_, XIX, 257.

1909 GUMMERE, F. B. The oldest English Epic. Beowulf, Finnsburg,
Waldere, Deor and the German Hildebrand, translated in the original
metres. New York. Reviews: _Athenaeum_, 1909, II, 151; Trautmann,
_Anglia, Beiblatt_, XXXIII, 353-60 (metrical debate); Sedgefield,
_Engl. Stud._ XLI, 402-3 (discussing possibility of reproducing in Mod.
Eng. the Old Eng. alliterative verse-rhythm); Derocquigny, _Revue
Germanique_, VI, 356-7; see also above, p. 390.

1910 HANSEN, ADOLF. Bjovulf, oversat af A. Hansen, og efter hans doed
g[oa]et efter og fuldfoert samt forsynet med en inledning og en
oversaettelse af brudstykket om kampen i Finsborg, af Viggo Julius von
Holstein Rathlou; udgivet ved Oskar Hansen. Koebenhavn og Kristiania.
An account of this translation, by v. Holstein Rathlou, in
_Tilskueren_, June, 1910, pp. 557-62; Review: Olrik, _Danske Studier_,
1910, 112-13.

1911 CLARK HALL, J. R. Beowulf and the Finnsburg Fragment. A
translation into Modern English Prose. London. Reviews: Mawer, _M.L.R._
VI, 542 ("probably the best working translation that we have, enriched
by a valuable introduction and excellent appendices"); _Academy_, 1911,
I, 225-6; Bjoerkman, _Engl. Stud._ XLIV, 127-8; _Archiv_, CXXVI, 492-3;
Binz, _Literaturblatt_, XXXII, 232.

1912 PIERQUIN, H. Le po[`e]me Anglo-Saxon de Beowulf. (An extraordinary
piece of work; the version mainly follows Kemble's text, which is
reproduced, but with many misprints: Kemble's _Saxons in England_ is
translated by way of introduction. The Finnsburg Fragment is included.)
Reviews: _Academy_, 1912, II, 509-10 (seems to regard Pierquin as
author of _Les Saxons en Angleterre_); Sedgefield, _M.L.R._ VIII,
550-2; Klaeber, _Anglia, Beiblatt_, XXIV, 138-9; Imelmann, _D.L.Z._
XXXIV (1913), 1062-3 (very unfavourable); ++Luick, _Mitt. d. inst. f.
oesterr. gesch.-forsch._ XXXVI, 401; ++Barat, _Moyen [^A]ge_, XXVI
(see. ser. XVII), 298-302.

1913 KIRTLAN, E. J. The Story of Beowulf. London. (A fair specimen of
the less scholarly translations; nicely got up and not exceedingly
incorrect.) Reviews: _Athenaeum_, 1914, II, 71; Klaeber, _Anglia,
Beiblatt_, XXVII, 129-31.

1914 CLARK HALL, J. R. Beowulf: a metrical translation. Cambridge. (Not
so successful as the same writer's prose translation.) Reviews:
Sedgefield, _M.L.R._ X, 387-9 (discussing the principles of metrical
translation); Klaeber, _Anglia, Beiblatt_, XXVI, 170-2.

1915 OLIVERO, F. Traduzioni dalla Poesia Anglo-sassone. Bari. (Pp.
73-119, extracts from Beowulf.) Review: _M.L.R._ XI, 509.

1916 ++BENEDETTI, A. La canzone di Beowulf, poema epico anglo-sassone
del VI secolo. Versione italiana, con introduzione e note. Palermo.

1918 LEONARD, W. E. [Specimen, Passus IX, of forthcoming transl., in
the measure of the Nibelungenlied.] In _Univ. of Wisconsin Studies_,
II, 149-52; see above.

A translation of Beowulf into the Norwegian "landsmaal," by H.
RYTTER, will appear shortly.

Popular paraphrases of Beowulf are not included in the above list. An account will be found in Tinker's _Translations_ of those of E. H. Jones (in COX'S _Popular Romances_, 1871); J. Gibb, 1881-4; Waegner-MacDowall, 1883 _etc._; Miss Z. A. Ragozin, 1898, 1900; A. J. Church, 1898; Miss C. L. Thomson, 1899, 1904. Mention may also be made of those of ++F. A. Turner, 1894; H. E. Marshall, 1908; T. Cartwright, 1908; Prof. J. H. Cox, 1910. An illustrated summary of {395} the _Beowulf_ story was issued by Mr W. T. Stead in his penny "Books for the Bairns." The versions of Miss Thomson and Prof. Cox are both good. The paraphrase in the _Canadian Monthly_, II, 83 (1872), attributed in several bibliographies to Earle, is assuredly not the work of that scholar: it is an inaccurate version based upon Jones. An account will be found in Tinker of the German paraphrase of Therese Dahn, 1883 _etc._; mention may also be made of those of J. Arnheim, 1871; ++ F. Baessler, sec. edit. 1875 (praised highly by Klaeber in _J.E.G.Ph._ V, 118).

Hrothulf is the name--missing in whole or part from l. 62--of the
husband of the daughter of Healfdene. This suggestion is quite
untenable, for many reasons: Hrothulf (Rolf Kraki) is a Dane, and the
missing husband is a Swede: but the article led to a long controversy
between Bryant and Klaeber; see _M.L.N._ XX, 9-11; XXI, 143, 255; XXII,

s. 8. QUESTIONS OF LITERARY HISTORY, DATE AND AUTHORSHIP: BEOWULF IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY, HEROIC LEGEND, MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE

See also preceding section.

No attempt is made here to deal with Old English heroic legend in general: nor to enumerate the references to _Beowulf_ in histories of literature. Probably the earliest allusion to our poem by a great writer is in Scott's _Essay on Romance_ (1824):

"The Saxons had, no doubt, Romances, ... and Mr Turner ... has given us
the abridgement of one entitled Caedmon, in which the hero, whose
adventures are told much after the manner of the ancient Norse Sagas,
encounters, defeats and finally slays an evil being called Grendel...."

Beowulf and Bjarki (see above, p. 61) and in other respects anticipates

outside, and is therefore a different kind of monster from Grendel (p.
30). But he does not disprove the general equation of Beowulf and
Bjarki: many of the most striking points of resemblance, such as the
support given to Eadgils (Athils) against Onela (Ali), lie outside the
scope of his study.) Review: Hollander, _J.E.G.Ph._ XVI, 147-9.

1917 FOG, REGINALD. Trolden "Grendel" i Bjovulf: en hypothese, _Danske

disease, prevalent among those who sleep in an ill-ventilated hall in a
state of intoxication, but to which Beowulf, whose health has been
confirmed by a recent sea-voyage, is not liable. This view is not as
new as its author believes it to be, and a letter from von Holstein
Rathlau is added, pointing this out. It might further have been pointed
out that as early as 1879 Grendel was explained as the malaria. Cf. the
theories of Laistner, Koegel and Golther, and see above, p. 46.)

= Hadbardernes Konge, hvis Rige forenes med det danske, VI, 78-80;
Vestgermanske Navne i dansk Historie og Sprog, 141-4. The inherent
difficulty of the subject is enhanced by the obscurity of the writer's
style: but much of the argument (e.g. that Halfdan and Frode are
identical) is obviously based upon quite reckless conjectures. The
question is complicated by political feeling: many of Neuhaus'
arguments are repeated in his pamphlet, _Die Frage von Nordschleswig im
Lichte der neuesten vorgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen_, Jena, 1919. His
theories were vigorously refuted by G. SCHUETTE, "Urjyske
