Tolkien's Beowulf
Greetings all,
I do not know if this has already been dealt with, as I could not find it when I searched the forum... I have read in some of Tolkien's books (such as The monsters and the Critics) exerts from Tolkien's Beowulf translation. I have had a good look around some online shops and even Google, but have, as yet, been unable to find if Tolkien's full translation was ever published. If anyone has some information, I would be indebted. I'm not a fan of Seamus Heaney's translation, for my own reasons that I will not go into now, and being a self styled Tolkien fan, I would like to be able to compare it to a work done by one of England's top linguists and novelists. Thanks to any who can aid my plight.
