In Hero-Ego in Search of Self, Judy
Anne White offers a perceptive explanation for continued interest in
the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf.
Building upon the earlier work of Jeffery Helterman and John Miles
Foley, she argues that the sum of all confrontations between hero and
monster in Beowulf equals the
process of individual psychological development identified by Carl Jung
as individuation. Dr. White's study proposes that the hero's struggle
is the universal struggle towards self-knowledge - and that Beowulf thus resonates for the
contemporary reader as it did for the poet's original audience.
