The author of Beowulf is unknown. The work might have been composed by a poet working at court, or it could have been composed by a poet-monk. It is conjectured that the author was probably familiar with court life, a Christian who addressed himself to a royal audience.
Scholars believe that the work could not have been composed before 521 AD because of the reference in the poem to the death of Hygelac. Many scholars conjecture that the work could not have been created later than 1000 AD, and was probably written somewhere around 750.
The mcript was written in the Wes dialect.
