Synopsis "Ghost Song"

Our poet, Wulf, was a monk in the East Anglian monastery of St. Oswald until. As luck would have it, he became attached to the episcopal household of Wulfstan, Archbishop of London during the final years of King Ethelraed's reign. This book tells how he composed his epic, Inspired by the fragments of a Geatish shaper, Egil, which survived among his mother's people after their arrival in East Anglia. Following our poet's murder, by no less than a monk of his own monastery, his poem continued to exist In the libraries of various noblemen until its acquisition by the British Library and Its first transcriptions by Grimur Jonsson Thorkelin in1787. The story opens just at the moment that fire threatens to extinguish the entire holdings of Sir Robert Cotton's Library In October 1731. which at that time was preserved in the Condon palace of lord Ashburnham. Of course, the poet is unaware of the happy fate that awaits his masterwork and frets endlessly over the work's future as he narrates the story of how the Geatish hero's exploits came to him and how, despite the violent disapproval of his monastic superiors, he came to produce the manuscript that later came to be known as Cotton Vitellius Axv, The Beowulf Ms.
