I want to know the answer to the following question:
What type of literary work is Beowulf?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Some of the most important surviving works of Old English literature are Beowulf, an epic poem; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, a record of early English history; the Franks Casket, an inscribed early whalebone artefact; and Cædmon's Hymn, a Christian religious poem.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
