[J.R.R. Tolkien] New Tolken Book Found - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was recently reading on another website that Tolkien scholars were long aware of the existence of the Beowulf translation. What was completely new was finding the commentary that went with it.

The article also indicated that there were negotiations going on with the estate to have the materials published. No particular publisher has yet been chosen. As such, it is unlikely that the materials will appear in print until at least 2004.
