Tolkien was also a formidable medieval scholar, as evidenced by his work, Beowulf: The Monster and the Critics (1936) and his edition of Anciene Wisse: English Text of the Anciene Riwle. Among his works published posthumously, are The Legend of Sigurd and GudrĂșn and The Fall of Arthur, which was edited by his son, Christopher. In 2013, his title, The\Hobbit (Movie Tie-In) made The New York Times Best Seller List. (Bowker Author Biography) |
