Smith, Leah, Allison Dennett, and Natasha Piirainen. Unlocking Beowulf: New Evidence from Lexomic Analysis. Ed. Michael D. C. Drout and Yvette Kisor. Palgrave-McMillan, 2016.
Reviewing this paper is problematic for me. I read Beowulf long ago and have only the most basic familiarity with computer programming. I could hang on to the traditional analysis that argues persuasively to me—unqualified as I am to judge—that there are independent probably written sources for certain sections of the poem. What, if anything, is new in the computer program was never clear to me.
