Book Synopsis Beowulf and the North Before the Vikings by : Tom Shippey
Book excerpt: Tom Shippey challenges the view that Beowulf is a fantasy and argues that using the poem as a starting point, historical, archaeological, and legendary sources can provide a plausible and consistent history of the North in the fifth and sixth centuries.
