Plot Beowulf sails to Denmark with a band of violent warriors and kills the monster Grendel who has been troubling the Danish King Hrothgar. Grendel’s mother, seeking revenge, meets the same fate Beowulf reigns for fifty years as the king of the Geats. In his last combat with a firebreathing dragon he kills the dragon but is himself mortally wounded. The poem ends with a description of the ceremonial funeral of Beowulf. Beowulf, which is considered to be the earliest epic of the English people unrolls before us the picture of the heroic age of Germanic antiquity, and the rise and fall of Danish and Geatish races are recorded in great detail. The poem embraces war and peace, life and death, and heroic life is crystallized in generic scenes of voyage, welcome, feast, fight, reward, making the poem one of barbaric and stately splendor. Early Institutions The Anglo-Saxons were not traders but farmers. Each living on his own, they dwelt in small villages, cultivating the land and practicing a few rude handcrafts. Much of their food was obtained by hunting and fishing. Organization of The Church The main event of the 7th century was the conversion of the Barbarians (Anglo-Saxons) to Christianity partly by the efforts of St. Augustine and his associates and partly by monks from Ireland. Growth of Unity In political matters too, this period seemed to show a marked advance in place of the petty kingdoms with their constant internal conflict, larger units emerged.
