I was just reading about Beowulf and it seems it survived only on one script and that script nearly was lost in a fire mid 18th century.

So without Beowulf being translated to modern english or even known of, how does English literature evolve and how do we consider the dark ages today?

I´m assuming in TTL Tolkien would end up writing something completely different, but I think Beowulf did influence more than him.
