Their study supports the unitary authorship of Beowulf and Cynewulfian authorship of Andreas, based on the ostensible homogeneity of a variety of features. The authors provided full access to their code and data, which demonstrates a praiseworthy commitment to open and replicable science. However, we argue that the methods presented are unsuitable for their purposes. Our replication study uses their unmodified data and text preprocessing steps, identifies errors in their analyses, questions the reliability of their results, and shows significant stylistic heterogeneity in Beowulf.
