- To Translate a Hero: The Hobbit as Beowulf Retold
- http://faculty.uca.edu/~jona/second/hobbeow.htm
- “I propose in this paper to attack my issues in a more readerly way than seems usually to be the case: I shall begin with Tolkien�s text and the terms it establishes for an understanding of Bilbo’s ‘heroism,’ proceed to an analysis of the structure of Tolkien’s plot as it develops Bilbo�s character, and only then�and only in that context–try to understand how Tolkien�s plot and protagonist use certain structural quotations from the Old English poem and its analogues.”
