Vernacular Verse Histories in Early Medieval England and Francia: The Bard and the Rag-picker - Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture
Catalin Taranu
In a provocative take on Germanic heroic poetry, Taranu reads texts like Beowulf, Widsith, and the Waltharius as participating in an alternative mode of history-writing that functioned in a larger ecology of narrative forms alongside chronicles, Latinate ecclesiastical histories, and Biblical epics.
