Tolkien, Race and Cultural History

Books | Fiction / General

Dimitra Fimi
"Tolkien, Race and Cultural History explores the evolution of Tolkien's mythology by examining how it changed as a result of Tolkien's life story and contemporary cultural and intellectual history. The book considers Tolkien's creative writing as an ever-developing 'legendarium': an interconnected web of stories, poems and essays, from his early poems in the 1910s to his latest writings in the early 1970s. Consequently, the book is not restricted to a discussion of Tolkien's best-known works only (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion), but examines the whole corpus of his legendarium, including the 12-volume History of Middle-earth series, which has received little attention from critics"--Jacket.
