Anthology of Best Work to 1960
This book should not have a review of three stars, so I am writing a few words to bump up the rating. Essentially, this book contains the best of Beowulf criticism up to 1960.

The criticism in this anthology is a bit dry. I would not recommend this book unless you want to learn all there is to know about Beowulf. Some of the articles are interesting if you are well-versed with Beowulf and its history, otherwise, you will be lost. I think the article about the Sutton-Hoo find was the most interesting piece.

I actually had the opportunity to study with Prof. Nicholson, and his enthusiasm for Anglo Saxon poetry, and Beowulf in particular, carries through this anthology. Quite complete and balanced through its original publication date in the '60s, it would be an excellent companion to the Seamus Heaney verse translation of the poem.
