What is Beowulf: Paganism vs. Christian Piety about?

The paper analyzes the Old English poem Beowulf, highlighting its complex portrayal of pagan heroism and Christian piety. It argues that while the poem was composed in a Christian context, it respects and admires its pagan characters, subtly subverting the proselytism of the time. The findings suggest that Beowulf appeals to modern readers, particularly those with ties to pagan traditions, by presenting a nuanced view of pre-Christian values and ethics.
