They are FINALLY releasing Tolkien's translation of Beowulf next month.

It excites me because for over a decade now I've reading how awesome it was supposed to be.

It fills me with dread because sometimes Christopher does some odd choices for the actual publishing. There was one a few years ago that I actually found...boring which normally never happens when I'm reading Tolkien...except for aspects of The Two Towers but that kicks everyone's asses

I also missed that Tolkien had an Arthur book released last year...has anyone read this?

I'll definitely have to check that out, if just to see how his translation compares to Heaney's and to the original. :)
