Answer (2)
It is not known who actually wrote Beowulf, but scholars estimate through studying the Old English verse that is could have been written by someone in Britain in approximately the 8th century. They believe this person was a Christian; the author refers to the Christian world by adding Cain and the Flood, and portrays the influence of the Christian God on the Danes.
The author of "Beowulf" is unknown but is believed to have been a Christian poet who wrote in Britain around the 8th century. The poem combines elements of both pagan and Christian traditions, suggesting its composer had a rich understanding of both cultures. Ultimately, the exact identity of the author remains a mystery.
