One More Installment of BeoMania

You might wonder why I haven't been blogging regularly of late. It's because I'm sick of Beowulf, and have to work up the energy to post about it. Yesterday I kept my World Lit class in stitches by accidentally referring to Othello as Beowulf (and once MacBeth as Beowulf) over and over. I've got Beo on the brain.

Still, here are some reviews and review-esque links that you shouldn't miss:

• Michael Drout's pleasure from nude philology.
• Jeff Sypeck on Grendel. I might blog more about that later.
• Mary Kate Hurley has a meditation on Beowulf, fate, and Bethlehem steel that reminded me of this short film version of "The Ruin."
• Steve Muhlberger has a short review, mostly discussing other reviews.
• Jeffery Hodges has his own review, and in a later post questions my impression that the film was supposed to be anti-Christian.
• My friend Fyre has her own review. She's not a scholar or an amateur medievalist, but I just like directing traffic her way every now and then.
