This review is from: A Critical Companion to Beowulf (Paperback)
Yes, you still need the Klaeber (or at least the student's Jack edition) to get Beowulf. And yes, it's always good to read your Tolkien to get the basics...but that aside, Orchard is the ultimate, up-to-date academic resource to study this incredible text. It is very rich, well structured, with a great index, awesome passage maps and outlines, and fine translations of selected passages. Though intended for scientific work, it can still be read by non-English majors who love to know one central root of our modern myths, from movies to books. Orchard has something to say, he is not afraid to say it, but fair enough to mention even approaches that have become unfashionable today.
