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 \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e was made and the way it was composed. The implications of this investigation for the dating, structure, and cultural context of \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e will overturn the current scholarly consensus and significantly improve our understanding of the poem, its nature, and origins.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319306278\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-30628-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 96\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515272839308,"sku":"9783319306278","price":58.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319306278.jpg?v=1775964150","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319306278","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
