This book presents J.R.R. Tolkien’s prose translation of the Old English epic Beowulf, along with extensive commentary and notes by his son, Christopher Tolkien. The translation captures the heroic tale of Beowulf, a Geatish warrior who battles the monstrous Grendel, Grendel’s vengeful mother, and later, a dragon. The commentary provides deep insights into the poem’s language, themes, and historical context, as well as Tolkien’s personal interpretations and its influence on his own works.
