Who is this book for? This book is aimed at researchers in any discipline who wish to write a research paper in English.

   Perhaps the best way to start appreciating early English literature is to not think of it as literature at all. The earliest stories in the English language were not written for academic study but as an extension of the oral tradition of relating grand and fanciful tales for entertainment.    These stories, then, were the blockbuster summer movies of their day--tales of adventure and romance, with brave knights, beautiful women, horrible monsters, and mysterious spirits.Over  the  centuries  these  stories  became  a  part  of English literature, and along the way, the gripping manner in which they were told made the leap from word of mouth to...
