About this book
The Translations of Beowulf: A Critical Bibliography is a book by Chauncey Brewster Tinker. A note says the translations of Ettmüller, Simrock, Heyne and Simons were checked against the original texts.
The text says Turner deserves full credit for first calling the attention of the English people to the importance of the poem. A quoted statement says the poem had remained untouched and unnoticed both here and abroad until its speaker observed its curious contents, and in 1805 announced it to the public, and the text answers that the statement is not strictly true. The text lists the principal passages which Botkine omits entirely, and says, under the heading Text Used, that the author seems to have been well acquainted with the scholarly work done on Beowulf up to his time. An extract says Unferth was an envious wight whose soul grudged that any man should achieve greater things than himself.
