Beschreibung:
<jats:p>One of the most distinctive features of <jats:italic>Beowulf</jats:italic> is the presentation of Grendel and his mother as members of Cain's monstrous progeny. What knowledge of a race (or races) of giants and monsters descended from Cain, and of their survival after the Flood, is the poet likely to have had? I take up the first part of this question in this article and the second part in an article to be published later in <jats:italic>Anglo-Saxon England.</jats:italic></jats:p>
