Is Beowulf is an elegy?

No, it is not. Beowulf is an epic. Or alternatively, a Romance (meaning, similar to the whole knights and maidens thing, with chivalry and all that stuff). An Elegy is lamenting the death of someone. Which, while Beowulf does do at times, that is not the purpose of the work; it is meant to tell a story!
