The epic poem "Beowulf" has been explored by many scholars, but personal acquaintance revealed that some important aspects always seem to have been overlooked. The author's objective with this book was to correct such omissions, but discrepancy turned out to be more widespread than envisaged. Rather than being solely a contribution to Scandinavian history, the material mainly illustrates aspects of English origins as viewed by a gifted member of their own kind. A post-Roman doomed culture arose in eastern England. Largely ignored in English records, the history of this is obscure enough, but the geography is even more so, since reliable place-names are but few. The poem predominantly served as an allegorical tool and, laced with folklore, was used furtively to comment on the behaviour of those in leadership roles, both in politics and religion. Synthesis even allows an identity to be suggested for the poet.
