edit
  • ... that before his major work on Beowulf, Colin Robert Chase almost had a career in acting? Source: Rigg & Szarmach 1985: "Theater also held a great interest for Chase. His acting ability (which almost led to a stage career) was evident in many amateur roles on campus."
    • ALT1:... that Colin Robert Chase's major work on the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf was called "one of the most important inconclusions in the study of Old English"? Source: Frank 2007, p. 847: "An anonymous reviewer of the manuscript called it 'one of the most important inconclusions in the study of Old English.'"
