PLOT
"When we play the Hour IT'S HARD NOT in the ballad.
BITTER IS THE IRON AND SPADE BIT OF CRUEL AND COLD, when it came down to it. "
" What remains after the battle and what questions and what doubts linger over corpses on the plain?
the poets who sing the deeds of the fallen and accompany them find the answers to the last resting it on the grounds that have driven them. Responses may also be the most uncomfortable and compromising, and then shifts into indictment of the pomposity of the heroes and those who uncritically exalt choices.
The return of the son of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm - repeated here together with the short poem which inspired the text and a monographic essay by Tom Shippey - is a crucial point in the literary path of JRR Tolkien. His radical reinterpretation
the famous Battle of Maldon battle between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, he imagined narrative el'epilogo, overturning the heroic perspective, paving the way for the development of that different model of heroism that will find fulfillment in the Lord of Rings. "
