Tolkien's Beowulf

[Lathriel]

I think it is silly that the Tolkien estate won't let Beowulf be published. Besides Beowulf has very little to do with Lotr. It might have helped inspire Tolkien but other than that I can't think of a good reason.
Talking about inspiration there is a good book called Tolkien's ring by David Day which has most of the myths that inspired Tolkien. E.G. Lidelungelied,some Norse sagas and more. I found it a very enjoyable read.So if you can't get Beowulf this might help,for a little while.
