Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: In this essay I will examine the warrior values of the Anglo-Saxon society. The central part is formed by a detailed assessment of Beowulf and The Wanderer. Before I turn to the literary works in question, however, I will present general considerations drawn from a number of scholarly sources which will form the basis of my argumentation. The first chapter outlines the historical context necessary to comprehend the full complexion of the topic and to justify the choice of the texts used.
