A
National Post (Canada) newspaper article provides some brief discussion of
Beowulf and the Critics by Michael Drout.
Tolkien's translation of
Beowulf has not been published in the book, but there is a brief excerpt from it, with the companion passage as translated by Seamus Heaney.
For those interested in the style and craft of language, Tolkien's effort to translate Old English into modern English but not a contemporary idiom is interesting.

Tolkien's Monster Resurfaces.
This one is working now I think. Sorry about that.
