  • Hector Munro Chadwick (* 22. Oktober 1870 in , West Yorkshire; † 2. Januar 1947 in Cambridge) war ein britischer anglistischer Mediävist und Historiker. Er war von 1912 bis 1941 Professor für ältere englische Sprache und Literatur an der Universität Cambridge. Chadwick forscherischer Schwerpunkt war die vergleichende Literatur und Kulturwissenschaft der Indoeuropäischen Völker und ausgewählte weitere Kulturen. Insbesondere der Vergleich und Forschung zur europäischen und besonders zu der germanischen Heldensage. Seine grundlegenden Erkenntnisse zu einer Feststellung eines Heldenalters („Heroic Age“), und der ihm nachfolgenden Forschung von Cecil Maurice Bowra zu mündlichen Überlieferungstraditionen („Oral formulaic Poetry“) von narrativen Mustern in der Sage bis zur schriftlichen Abfassung, ist eine Basis der modernen Heldensagenforschung. Des Weiteren trug er in England wissenschaftsdidaktisch dazu bei, die Studiengänge und Erforschung der altenglischen Sprache, Literatur und Kultur integral orientiert auszurichten. 1925 wurde er Mitglied (Fellow) der British Academy. Chadwick war mit der Philologin Nora Kershaw Chadwick verheiratet, mit der er auch gemeinsam publizierte. (de)

  • Through the immense range of his scholarly publications, and through the vigorous enthusiasm which he brought to all aspects of Anglo-Saxon studies – philological and literary, historical and archaeological – he helped to define the field and give it the interdisciplinary orientation which characterizes it still. The Department... owes its existence and its own interdisciplinary outlook to H.M. Chadwick... (en)
