Title:
The Female Mourner at Beowulf's Funeral: Filling in the Blanks / Hearing the Spaces [The article discusses the incomplete funeral passage in "Beowulf," and critiques normative editing practices around that passage, which tend to "fill it in" with a particular kind of female mourner -- the passive female victim -- rather than to accept its silences and its holes. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
