First edition of Tolkien's second published book, a scholarly edition of one of the most important works of medieval English literature. The poem was an important influence on Tolkien: he produced his own verse translation (published posthumously in 1975) and he described the original as "one of the masterpieces of fourteenth-century art in England, and of English literature as a whole" (Tolkien, p. 72). The text, written in a north-west Midlands dialect, is here reproduced from the sole surviving manuscript held at the British Library, alongside copious notes and glossaries by Tolkien and his co-editor E. V. Gordon. The edition "opened new fields of study, remaining the standard, in revised form, throughout the 20th century" (ODNB). Hammond B7a. J. R. R. Tolkien, The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays, 1984. Octavo. Photographic frontispiece and plate reproducing pages of the manuscript; errata leaf tipped-in after p. vi, as issued.
