1. Who was the author of the Beowulf poem?

The author of Beowulf is unknown

Explanation:

It is possible that the poem was composed by and transmitted between several different poets before it was preserved in a single manuscript that dates to about 1000.

One of the earliest extant English poems, Beowulf, is considered. Some call him the "Beowulf Poet," while others refer to him only as the "unknown author." This uncertain date may be when the poem was written. Some scholars believe the evidence dates back to the 7th century CE.
