Tolkien would spend the rest of his professional career dipping into the romance as he translated the poem (published posthumously) and let its color seep into Middle-earth. This first edition did exactly what Tolkien intended: landed in the hands of a student and taught them about the poem he adored. This copy was previously owned by Harriet Tyng, 1928 graduate of Barnard college and poet, featuring her bookplate and pencilled academic notes throughout (she dubs p. 64 the "work of a poet"), with a page of notes and typed exam card laid in.
