520 The aim of Gold-Hall and Earth -Dragon is to re-create as
fully as possible for modern readers the original force of
the poetic language of Beowulf. Lee makes use of a wide,
archetypal literary context for Beowulf to provide
illuminating parallels and contrasts with poems and
fictions from other times and places. He demonstrates how
the poem's symbolic system reveals itself through the
metaphorical workings of the Old English words, patterns
of imagery, and more general narrative structures, and how
the poem might have been experienced and interpreted by
the Anglo-Saxons in the light of other Old English poems.
The critical tools that Lee uses - combining certain
techniques of New Criticism and close reading with
postmodern theories of the self-referentiality of language
and with Northrop Frye's conceptions of structure and
polysemy in literature - make possible a fresh new account
of Beowulf as a work that is very much alive in its poetic
language, a finely wrought symbolic work of imagining,
still resonant with meanings old and new.
