These contributions add significantly to the debate over the meaning of the tragic element of \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e and to the better understanding of the character of its hero. The poetic literature is further represented by a new evaluation of the central literary problems of the \u003cem\u003eExodus\u003c\/em\u003e, a reinterpretation of the puzzling \u003cem\u003eWulf and Eadwacer\u003c\/em\u003e, and philological and syntactical examinations of \u003cem\u003eMaldon\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003ePhoenix\u003c\/em\u003e. Other interests of Professor Pope are reflected in two metrical analyses and a thorough lexicographical survey of Old English prosodic terminology, a painstaking study of the chapter-headings in the Old English Bede, and an essay which brilliantly establishes the experience of a hitherto unknown  lfric manuscript. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert B.
