    Beskrivning

    The Beowulf Manuscript, an ancient document housed in the British Museum, has been the subject of extensive study and translation by literary giants such as JRR Tolkien and Seamus Heaney. With new insights, Beowulf Revelations - The Forgotten Anglo-Saxon King now aims to bridge the gap between myth and reality, presenting a compelling case for the historical accuracy of the events described in the text. This meticulously researched work promises to unravel historical secrets and mysteries that have puzzled scholars for decades.The author, George W Jones, takes readers on a journey through the historical and geographical landscape of Anglo-Saxon England, uncovering remarkable connections to early Anglo-Saxon kings and even a real-life "dragon" that may once have roamed the hills of Sussex. The book explores the strong possibility of a precise location for Beowulf's death scene, the probable site of his burial mound, and even a museum where his burned bones and funerary urn may now rest, unknown to the curators.The ancient landscape of "Hamsey" is explored in depth, revealing its significance as a highly probable location for the lost meeting place of kings known as Clofesho.Additionally, the book examines the etymology of placenames in Sussex, such as "Beorhthelmestun" (Brighton) and "Ringmer," linking them to further characters and events within the Beowulf Manuscript. The author provides a thorough analysis of these names and their historical significance, offering readers a deeper understanding of the connections between the manuscript and the landscape of Sussex.With detailed descriptions, etymological insights, and a wealth of historical references, Beowulf Revelations - The Forgotten Anglo-Saxon King offers a fresh perspective on the legendary figure of Beowulf. It promises to reshape our understanding of early Anglo-Saxon history and provide readers with a fascinating glimpse into the past.Join us in celebrating the release of Beowulf Revelations - The Forgotten Anglo-Saxon King, which is sure to captivate historians, literary enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the mysteries of ancient history. This comprehensive work not only sheds light on the Beowulf Manuscript but also offers a fresh perspective on the rich culture of Anglo-Saxon Sussex.With licensed excerpts from translations of the Beowulf Manuscript by JRR Tolkien, Seamus Heaney and Professor RD Fulk.

    Mer om författaren

    George Jones is a new author from Brighton who has a deep fascination in myths, legends, and the history of Sussex. Growing up in Lewes, he took a particular interest in the town’s historical roots, fictionalising many years of research to produce his first novel, The Lost Grail Legends of Lewes and Hamsey. His second publication, Beowulf Revelations, focuses on a possible reality behind the Beowulf manuscript, highlighting many curious connections to Lewes, Ringmer Village, and Hamsey Church. Working as a building restoration project manager, he has a great affinity for ancient structures. He is often found rock climbing, roaming the Downs in search of inspiration, or in dusty old churches, imagining the past.
