Smert' Artura - Tolkien Dzhon Ronal'd Ruel

According to Christopher Tolkien, the writer's son, John Tolkien has always had a weakness for "northern" verse and has repeatedly applied accentverse, stylizing some of his works for ancient German poetry. This is how "La about The Children of Hurin," "New Song about Velsungs," "New Song about Gudrun" and other experiments of this kind were born. Based on the world-famous legend of Lancelet and Guinevere, the poem "Death of Arthur," which began in 1934, remained unfinished due to the development of the Lord of the Rings world. This book contains both the poem itself and the analysis of John Tolkien's sketches revealing the author's idea, as well as an article about the connection of this text with "Silmarillion".
