The book was originally published in 1911. This revised edition is notable in having a 35pp section of Prefatory Remarks on the translation by J. R. R. Tolkien. ***Please note that this example has been rebound by Trinity College (Cambridge) New Library, but is extremely clean internally, albeit with one torn page and two pages with a paper cut (see full description below) ***Very good in orange-red textured cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine and front board. The gilt is still very bright and clear. The boards are perfectly clean and undamaged, with just a library code shelf mark at the bottom of the spine. No bumps or tears to the cloth. Page block edges very clean without foxing. Just a very slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good, with just a few library marks as follows: barcode on the front pastedown, withdrawn stamp and code plus highlighter mark to the front free endpaper, and a light circular stamp to the last printed page (p.154). No dustwrapper. A previous owner has also added some light pencil notes to the outer margin of p.78 (please see scans) ***Please also note that there is some tearing to the thin paper of p.28, and two straight paper cuts affecting pp.57-60 (please see scans) ***194 pages including an extensive section of Notes on Beowulf at the back of the book. 187mm x 125mm. ***'"Beowulf" Old English: Bēowulf [ˈbeːowuɫf]) is an Old English epic poem in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature. The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025 AD. Scholars call the anonymous author the "Beowulf poet". The story is set in pagan Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall Heorot has been under attack by the monster Grendel for twelve years. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother takes revenge and is in turn defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a barrow on a headland in his memory.' (Wiki) ***'The "Finnesburg Fragment" (also "Finnsburh Fragment") is a portion of an Old English heroic poem about a fight in which Hnæf and his 60 retainers are besieged at "Finn's fort" and attempt to hold off their attackers. The surviving text is tantalisingly brief and allusive, but comparison with other references in Old English poetry, notably "Beowulf" (c. 1000 AD), suggests that it deals with a conflict between Danes and Frisians in Migration-Age Frisia (400 to 800 AD).' (Wiki) ***A post-war reprinting of the 1940 revised edition of this literary study of the Old English manuscripts "Beowulf" and "The Finnesburg Fragment" - with the extremely detailed prefatory notes on the translation by J. R. R. Tolkien. Early editions of this work are seldom found now. A very good ex-library copy, with the aforementioned page faults (a tear and paper cut) - both of which could perhaps be repaired by an expert paper archivist / restorer as there is no actual loss of text. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Edition. 179pp. Octavo [21.9cm]. Black cloth spine and boards with gilt lettering and red ornament. Front board slightly bowed. Very light rubbing at the head and tail of the spine. Front free and paste-down endpapers slightly toned. Dust Jacket rubbed along the front fore-edge; rubbed and with one small closed tear along the spine. Upper corner of the front flap has been clipped, but price still present. Bookplate signed by May Swenson tucked in. The publication, in one volume, of three complete separate poems by three contemporary poets is an experiment. It is hoped that the larger, more impressive volume, offering the reader a greater variety and wider range, will attract and reward the audience that appears to have lost intrest in the usual slim book of verse. The publishers have been most fortunate in finding for this combined volume three young poets who have not yet been published in book form. All are sincere poets working within the vital poetic movement of our day, but with diverse skills and very divergent methoods and points-of-view. In fact, it would be difficult to find three poets more distinct and individual in tone and substance than the three so happily brought together here. The complex and highly personal vision of reality to be found in the poems of Harry Duncan; the subtly conveyed poignance of the portraitures and interpretations of a defeated people as rendered by a soldier of the occupying power on duty in Japan, who happened also to be a poet, Murray Noss; the compressed essences and abstractions which the poetry of May Swenson wrings from the apperances of things - these, all three, so diverse and so good, gain by their combination and juxtaposition.-- From inside jacket flaps.…
