Original o primera edición
First edition, first impression, of Tolkien's second published book, a scholarly edition of this major Arthurian romance. The poem had a huge influence on Tolkien, who described it "as one of the masterpieces of 14th-century art in England, and of English Literature as a whole" (Monsters, p. 72). His edition "opened new fields of study, remaining the standard, in revised form, throughout the 20th century" (ODNB). Though the publisher implored Tolkien and his co-editor Gordon to keep its length under 160 pages, they successfully argued that the poem's fecund vocabulary deserved an extended glossary and notes, which bulk the volume to 212 pages. In this copy, a reader has neatly pencilled many annotations that demonstrate a keen awareness of the text's linguistic roots and original pronunciation. Tolkien prepared the text and glossary and Gordon produced the greater part of the notes. Tolkien's own translation of the poem into modernized English verse was posthumously published 50 years later. Hammond B7a. J. R. R. Tolkien, The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays, 1984. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, covers ruled in gilt and blind, front cover stamped with axe device in gilt, edges untrimmed. Frontispiece and plate after the sole surviving manuscript held at the British library. Errata leaf tipped in after p. vi, as issued. Text based on the original, written in a North West Midlands dialect of Middle English. Bookseller's ticket on front pastedown. Spine faintly sunned, gilt bright, cloth sharper than usual, foxing and informed pencil annotations mostly limited to opening sections. A near-fine copy.
