Description
J.R.R. Tolkien Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary Paperback Fantasy Classics. JRR Tolkien completed his translation of Beowulf in 1926; he returned to it later to make hasty corrections, but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition includes an illuminating commentary of the poem by the translator himself, drawn from a series of lectures he gave at Oxford in the 1930s. His creative attention to detail in these lectures gives rise to a sense of immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if Tolkien enters into the imagined past. Edited by Cristopher Tolkien.
