Ebook: Studies in English Philology: A Miscellany in Honor of Frederick Klaeber

Frederick J. Klaeber (born Friedrich J. Klaeber) (1863–1954) was a German philologist who was Professor of Old and Middle English at the University of Minnesota. His edition of the poem "Beowulf", published as "Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg", is considered a classic work of "Beowulf" scholarship; it has been in print continuously since 1922.

Professor Klaeber's admirers have produced this miscellany to honour him "on his sixty-fifth birthday, which marks also the completion of thirty-five years of service in the University of Minnesota."

More then half of this book treat of the earlier periods of Germanic Language and Literature, and it is peculiarly appropriate that among these there should be some twelve dealing with Beowulfian studies. This distinguished body of papers gives to Professor Klaeber's Festschrift a coherence which is in attractive contrast to that incoherence some times unavoidable in such volumes.
