Thread: Monsters in Beowulf

  1. #1

    Question Monsters in Beowulf

    Hi!!
    I'm studying Beowulf in College and I'd like to extend my comprehension of it.
    I heard about an essay by J.R.R. Tolkien, entitled: Beowulf, the Monsters and the Critics.
    Do you know where I could find it (for free)?
    Thanks a lot

    Seeing that it was published in 1983 (even though Tolkien's lecture on the subject happened like 50 years before), I doubt it is free of copyright. And if it was, I'm not sure how exactly that thing works, because pretty much everything that Tolkien ever wrote isn't available on the web for free.

    You're welcome, Elizabeth. I'm sorry I wasn't of much help.
