Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary

Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, together with Sellic Spell is the 2014 publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's prose translation of the ancient North European poem Beowulf. The translation was done between 1920 and 1926, long before Christopher Tolkien prepared it for publication.
The translation is accompanied by commentary on the poem which had been the basis for Tolkien's 1936 lecture Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics. The book also includes Sellic Spell, an imagining of the Beowulf poem's original form.
