Thanks a lot, Child of the 7th Age. It's a pity that the sensationalist media(whose knowledge of Beowulf is probably limited to the CGI film) ruined our chances of reading the translation. Hopefully the Estate will allow it to be published eventually. BTW, I can't think of any author who had more books published after his death than JRRT.
