Beowulf and the Critics by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Not to be confused with The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays, this book supplies Old English scholars and fans and scholars of Tolkien with two versions of the writings that lie behind that briefer and more focused work. It makes a wonderful companion to Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, together with Sellic Spell.

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI always forget about this one. Probably because it's on the to-purchase list rather than the TBR pile.
