A real gem in Tolkien's Old English canon.
For those who've enjoyed 'The Monsters and the Critics' and were left wanting this is a dream. The idea that Tolkein had not only written more on Beowulf but had produced a fairly thoroughly written and revised translation was unknown to me, to have this unearthed so long after one assumed the bottom of the unpublished barrel had been well and truly scared is a revelation. This and 'The Fall of Arthur' stand really well alongside Gawain, and his more famous Middle Earth works - its different to the middle earth stuff - these are poetic epics in the old English style, but are compelling and in their own right.
