怪物和怪物，无论是来自遥远的异教过去还是基督教拉丁语学习的新世界，都以各种方式困扰着盎格鲁-撒克逊人的想象力。在这一系列详细的研究中，安迪果园展示了盎格鲁-撒克逊人对怪物的态度的变化范围，通过重新考虑贝奥武甫的怪物在中世纪早期和教父畸形学的背景下，并参考特定的盎格鲁-撒克逊文本。本文分析了《贝奥武夫》中怪物的直接手稿背景，揭示了诗人对怪物主题的处理及其融入作品的情况，一系列平行讨论考虑了中世纪对同一主题的一系列处理在各种类似文本中（均提供翻译），拉丁语、古英语、中世纪爱尔兰语和古冰岛语。通过追踪对骄傲概念的态度变化，并在基督教传统中描绘的骄傲的异教徒战士与他们所战斗的怪物之间建立密切联系，以及他们越来越认同的怪物之间建立密切联系，提出了骄傲和神童的双重主题。附录中包含了《圣经》、《亚历山大致亚里士多德的信》和《东方奇迹》的新版本和译本（有些是第一次翻译成英文）。1995年，由Boewell & Brewer出版。
Monsters and the monstrous, whether from the remote pagan past or the new world of Christian Latin learning, haunted the Anglo-Saxon imagination in a variety of ways. In this series of detailed studies, Andy Orchard demonstrates the changing range of Anglo-Saxon attitudes towards the monstrous by reconsidering the monsters of Beowulf against the background of early medieval and patristic teratology and with reference to specific Anglo-Saxon texts. The immediate manuscript context of the monsters in Beowulf is analysed, shedding light on the poet's treatment of the theme of the monstrous and its integration into his work, and a series of parallel discussions consider a range of medieval treatments of the same theme in a variety of analogous texts (all provided with translation), in Latin, Old English, Middle Irish, and Old Icelandic. The twin themes of pride and prodigies are suggested by tracing changing attitudes towards the concept of pride and establishing a close link between the proud pagan warriors depicted in Christian tradition and the monsters they fight, and with whom they become increasingly identified. An appendix contains new editions and translations (some for the first time in English) of the Liber Monstrorum, The Letter of Alexander to Aristotle, and The Wonders of the East.
