Abstract

Courage and Personality
Rainer, Dachine | October 20, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on the book "Beowulf." Beowulf is meant to define the heroic character of the English people. The rather depressing feeling is that courage, when accompanied by an absence of the imagination is no longer a heroic phenomenon, but something entirely different. to some extent; an unconscious or deliberate blunting of one's sensitivity, very likely; and most certainly, an acceptance of fate. If one wants to define courage as an assertion of the life principle that sustains the ordinary individual in an extreme situation in this case the group of people around a little London tea shoppe during the Blitz may be supposed to be one.
