Název v původním jazyce

A Batalha de Maldon: uma pequena Ilíada dos anglo-saxões

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

O presente estudo visa analisar o poema escrito em inglês antigo A Batalha de Maldon (c. 1000), com foco nos aspectos historiográficos e poéticos do texto, tratando primeiramente da tradição literária anglo-saxã para que, em seguida, se debruce sobre o contexto do confronto retratado na obra e o recorte que o poeta anônimo realizou, a fim de buscar entender as causas e o resultado de se registrar um acontecimento histórico por meio de versos. Para tal, analisa-se brevemente a métrica anglo-saxã, conforme demonstrado por Tolkien (2006b) aplicadas ao verso em tela, para que em seguida seja possível esmiuçar as construções lexicais e as figuras de linguagem utilizadas, em especial seus kennings. Assim, são utilizados os estudos de Ashe (2022), Atherton (2020) e Irving Jr. (1961) para tópicos específicos do contexto literário, bem como excertos de outros textos do período anglo-saxão. Guiam também o estudo Candido (2014) e Lukács (2009), para que se possa tecer uma teoria mais geral sobre as técnicas narrativas empregadas. Desta feita, considera-se que o poema é uma obra que, além de marcar um acontecimento histórico, busca expressar uma crítica política, ao mesmo tempo que busca sensibilizar o leitor. Os estudos linguísticos indicam uma composição local e o emprego de uma linguagem mais vulgar de seu idioma, ao passo que o estudo literário aponta que o poema se vale de um provável provérbio anterior ao próprio texto e, por fim, martiriza a figura de seu protagonista, Byrhnoth, que, mesmo ao criticá-lo, enaltece a sua bravura e condena os soldados desertores.

Popis výsledku anglicky

Abstract: The present study aims to analyze the poem written in Old English, The Battle of Maldon (c. 1000), focusing on the historiographical and poetic as-pects of the text, first addressing the Anglo-Saxon literary tradition so that we can then delve into the context of the confrontation depicted in the work and the selection made by the anonymous poet, in order to understand the causes and the outcome of recording a historical event through verses. To this end, we briefly analyze Anglo-Saxon metrics, as demonstrated by Tolkien (2006b) applied to the verse at hand, so that it is then possible to dissect the lexical constructions and figures of speech used, especially their kennings. Thus, the studies of, Ashe (2022), Atherton (2020), and as well as Irving Jr. (1961) are utilized for specific topics of the literary context, along with excerpts from other texts from the Anglo-Saxon period. The studies by Candido (2014) and Lukács (2009) also guide this study to weave a more general theory about the narrative techniques employed. In this way, it is considered that the poem is a work that, besides marking a historical event, seeks to express political criticism while aiming to sensitize the reader. Linguistic studies indicate a local composition and the use of a more common language of its region, whereas literary analysis points out that the poem draws on a likely proverb that predates the text itself and, ultimately, martyrizes the figure of its protagonist, Byrhnoth, who, even while criticizing him, celebrates his bravery and condemns the deserting soldiers.Abstract: The present study aims to analyze the poem written in Old English, The Battle of Maldon (c. 1000), focusing on the historiographical and poetic as-pects of the text, first addressing the Anglo-Saxon literary tradition so that we can then delve into the context of the confrontation depicted in the work and the selection made by the anonymous poet, in order to understand the causes and the outcome of recording a historical event through verses.
