A Comparative Grammar of the Early Germanic Languages
Fulk’s Comparative Grammar offers an overview of and bibliographical guide to the study of the phonology and the inflectional morphology of the earliest Germanic languages, with particular attention to Gothic, Old Norse / Icelandic, Old English, Old Frisian, Old Saxon, and Old High German, along with some attention to the more sparsely attested languages. The sounds and inflections of the oldest Germanic languages are compared, with a view to rec…
A Handbook to Eddic Poetry
This is the first comprehensive and accessible survey in English of Old Norse eddic poetry: a remarkable body of literature rooted in the Viking Age, which is a critical source for the study of early Scandinavian myths, poetics, culture and society. Dramatically recreating the voices of the legendary past, eddic poems distil moments of high emotion as human heroes and supernatural beings alike grapple with betrayal, loyalty, mortality and love. T…
A Grammar of Old English
The roles of phonology and analogy In Old English high vowel deletion
The problem under consideration is the exact nature of the application of High Vowel Deletion (HVD) in Old English. As discussed in §1, according to what has come to be the most prevalent view, a form such as nom.acc.pl . hēafdu ‘heads’ in Late West Saxon, from earlier * hēafudu , is the phonologically regular result of the application of HVD. In §2 a recent alternative explanation is discussed, whereby *hēafudu should have produced *hēafd , whic…

The origin of the numbered sections in Beowulf and in other Old English poems
Most observers now agree that the fitt numbers in Beowulf were not in the scribes' exemplar. A question less frequently addressed is whether the sectional divisions themselves are authorial or whether the poem was divided in the course of manuscript transmission. Several of the divisions in the portion of the poem copied by the second scribe make little narrative sense, while the divisions in the first scribe's work are sufficiently rational. The…

On argumentation in Old English philology, with particular reference to the editing and dating of Beowulf
If poststructuralist literary and cultural theory does not pervade Anglo-Saxon literary studies as thoroughly as it does scholarship in later periods, as it has sometimes been said, to a considerable extent the cause is surely the field's dependence on philology. Some see this as cause for regret. It may be, however, that philology is the field's greatest asset. Given the high value that recent literary studies accord textual alterity, Old Englis…

A History of Old English Meter
A History of Old English Meter
In A History of Old English Meter , R. D. Fulk offers a wide-ranging reference on Anglo-Saxon meter. Fulk examines the evidence for chronological and regional variation in the meter of Old English verse, studying such linguistic variables as the treatment of West Germanic parasite vowels, contracted vowels, and short syllables under secondary and tertiary stress, as well as a variety of supposed dialect features. Fulk's study of such variables po…

An Eddic Analogue to the Scyld Scefing Story
NINETEENTH-CENTURY research in the mythological background of Beowulf is characterized by a habit of discerning shamanistic cult figures behind nearly every character in the poem. Thus, for example, in the famous view of Karl Miillenhoff, Grendel comes to stand for the North Sea, flooding the Germanic coast in spring, so that humans must be saved by divine intervention; and the dragon represents the return of harsh weather in the autumn, when the…
