I disagree [In reply to] Can't Post

I doubt that it truly is a significant enough work to justify a full book by itself, even with commentary by Christopher.
Well, I've read the whole work in draft, and I disagree. I found the work so stirring in a characteristically Tolkienian way that by the end it was all I could do to keep from jumping up, grabbing a sword, and killing some Huns. Your mileage may vary, of course.

At any rate, the notion that this book comes at the expense of the Beowulf translation depends on the assumption that Christopher Tolkien intends to edit the latter personally, which is not at all in evidence.
