Beowulf and the Critics

Beowulf and the Critics was an academic composition of J.R.R. Tolkien concerning the poem Beowulf and its interpretations.
Made in the 1930s while Tolkien taught at Pembroke College, Oxford, it would be published in 2002 in an edition by Michael D. C. Drout, joined with two versions of "Iúmonna Gold Galdre Bewunden", as part of the series Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies. A revised edition was released in 2011.
Tolkien gave a shortened version of Beowulf and the Critics as the lecture, "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics", which is found in Christopher Tolkien's compilation The Monsters and the Critics and other essays. These are not to be confused with Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary (2014), presenting Tolkien's Beowulf-rendition itself.
