The original composition of Beowulf
is also a matter of controversy. Who?
When? Where? We don’t know
precisely.
The date is a subject of controversy,
but it is at least 1,000 years old. Some
scholars argue the 8 th century; others
the 10 th or 11 th .
The problematic Pagan/ Christian
nature of the poem is also a matter of
much scholarly debate.
