001880: Nitzsche, Jane-Chance Tolkien's Art
London, England, Macmillan, 1979
First Edition Hard Cover
As new book and dustjacket. First edition. "This study focuses on many minor works by Tolkien in tracing the development of his English mythology. It begins with a reading of his famous Beowulf essay as a work of art in its own right, and relates this essay to his other critical studies, editions, and translations of medieval works and to his mock-critical prefaces, as in Farmer Giles of Ham. This comparison reveals that for Tolkien the critic himself may be a monster like Beowulf's dragon against whom the artist must do battle."

001866: Orchard, Andy Pride and Prodigies: Studies in the Monsters of the Beowulf Manuscript
Toronto, ON, Canada, University of Toronto Press, 2003
First Thus Original Wraps
Monsters and the monstrous, whether from the remote pagan past or the new world of Christian Latin learning, haunted the Anglo-Saxon imagination in a variety of ways. In this series of detailed studies, Andy Orchard demonstrates the changing range of Anglo-Saxon attitudes towards the monstrous by reconsidering the monsters of Beowulf against the background of early medieval and patristic teratology and with reference to specific Anglo-Saxon texts. The immediate manuscript context of the monsters in Beowulf is analysed, shedding light on the poet's treatment of the theme of the monstrous and its integration into his work, and a series of parallel discussions consider a range of medieval treatments of the same theme in a variety of analogous texts (all provided with translation), in Latin, Old English, Middle Irish, and Old Icelandic. The twin themes of pride and prodigies are suggested by tracing changing attitudes towards the concept of pride and establishing a close link between the proud pagan warriors depicted in Christian tradition and the monsters they fight, and with whom they become increasingly identified. An appendix contains new editions and translations (some for the first time in English) of the Liber Monstrorum, The Letter of Alexander to Aristotle, and The Wonders of the East. Andy Orchard is the Associate Director of the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.
