The attack is widely considered one of the defining conflicts of tenth-century England, and is immortalised in the poem, \u003cem\u003eThe Battle of Maldon\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten shortly after the battle, the poem survives only as a 325-line fragment, but its value to today is incalculable. J.R.R. Tolkien considered \u003cem\u003eThe Battle of Maldon\u003c\/em\u003e 'the last surviving fragment of ancient English heroic minstrelsy'. It would inspire him to compose, during the 1930s, his own dramatic verse-dialogue, \u003cem\u003eThe Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son\u003c\/em\u003e, which imagines the aftermath of the great battle when two of Beorhtnoth's retainers come to retrieve their duke's body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLeading Tolkien scholar, Peter Grybauskas, presents for the first time Tolkien's own prose translation of \u003cem\u003eThe Battle of Maldon\u003c\/em\u003e together with the definitive treatment of \u003cem\u003eThe Homecoming of Beorhtnoth\u003c\/em\u003e and its accompanying essays; also included and never before published is the lecture, 'The Tradition of Versification in Old English'. Illuminated with insightful notes and commentary, he offers a definitive critical edition of these works, and argues compellingly that, \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e excepted, \u003cem\u003eThe Battle of Maldon\u003c\/em\u003e may well have been 'the Old English poem that most influenced Tolkien's fiction', most dramatically within the pages of \u003cem\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis slipcased edition includes a colour frontispiece reproducing a page of Tolkien's original manuscript of The Homecoming, and is printed on acid-free paper with a ribbon marker. It is quarterbound with a unique illustration by Bill Sanderson gold-foiled on grey boards and is housed in a custom-built slipcase.
