The influence of nineteenth-century legal historians on the editing of Old English texts, particularly Beowulf, is a central theme. Their methodologies and interpretations have shaped modern editions, leading to a significant archaizing effect on the text. This exploration highlights how historical perspectives can impact literary scholarship and the preservation of cultural heritage.
