Beowulf is a 1968 book publishing the Beowulf poem translated by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Bruce Mitchell, in his Introduction, discusses several academic works by J.R.R. Tolkien. Mitchell also provides a short quotation from an undated letter to Mitchell from Tolkien discussing Beowulf.[1]
In his "Introducer's Note", Mitchell gives thanks to "Professor J.R.R. Tolkien, for permission to quote from a cherished private letter", and expresses his "deep obligations" to "Professors J.R.R. Tolkien, C.L. Wrenn, and A. Campbell for the lectures I have heard them deliver and the stimulus I have derived from them".
