In this book it is suggested that these elements work in unison, and that the two Genesis poems function coherently in the context of the Junius 11 manuscript. Moreover, the book explores recourse to Genesis-derived myth in \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e, and points to important similarities between this text and the Genesis poems. It is therefore shown that while \u003ci\u003eBeowulf \u003c\/i\u003ediffers from the Genesis poems in several respects, it belongs in a corpus where religious verse enjoys prominence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph St John\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032621818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032621814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Joseph St John","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175803793663,"sku":"9781032621814","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e910fd1c-fd10-4ac4-b367-4c71c3ea79a4.jpg?v=1771336006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genesis-myth-in-beowulf-and-joseph-st-john-9781032621814","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
