Adventures of Beowulf...Beowulf exists in only one manuscript. This copy survived both the wholesale destruction of religious artifacts during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII and a disastrous fire which destroyed the library of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (1571-1631). The poem still bears the scars of the fire, visible at the upper left corner of the photograph. The Beowulf manuscript is now housed in the British Library, London.

Essays on Tolkien's Middle Earth ....'The following personal writings enquire into various aspects of Middle Earth, using J.R.R Tolkien's written works, combined with common sense and imagination, to provide a fuller picture of the topic'
Fantasy Literature in JRR Tolkien's Work ...this website also includes an interview with Tolkien... 'First broadcast in January 1971 on the BBC Radio 4 programme.
Middle-earth Science Pages...''I offer you almost pure text essays on Tolkien's Middle-earth, the probably most detailed and perfect secondary world created in literature'
Monsters and the Critics: and Other Essays...'The essays printed in The Monsters and the Critics were originally delivered as occasional lectures. The eponymous "The Monsters and the Critics" is a trenchant look at the critical tradition on Beowulf and "On Translating Beowulf" is an introduction to its language and metre '
Tolkien: Archetype and Word...'The Lord of the Rings embodies an "inherent morality,"[1] as Tolkien calls it, which derives largely from the traditions of Christian and epic poetry. Yet the trilogy is not explicitly religious, and is neither allegorical nor doctrinal. Tolkien well knows that the Dantesque form of Christian epic, wherein history effortlessly assumes the framework of dogma, cannot be successfully imitated in post-Romantic times.'---an essay by Patrick Grant, a specialist in Renaissance literature, teaches English at the University of Victoria, British Columbia--Cross Currents
Tolkien's Catholic Imagination...'Great books have much to fear from blockbuster movies. And Peter Jackson's new film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, set to be released in theaters next month, poses such a threat. Mesmerized by the cinematic eye-candy, the spin-off toys and games, and the fast-food tie-ins, fans who enter J.R.R. Tolkien's world of Middle-earth for the first time through Jackson's film might never bother to read Tolkien's epic. Sadder still, they might never learn about the Catholic imagination that inspired it.'
