Synopsis
Since the first volume appeared in 1954 Tolkien's trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, has become one of the most widely loved works of literature ever published.
In Master of Middle-Earth, Paul Kocher considers Tolkien's fiction as a whole, showing the relationship of the short prose and verse narratives to the major works, and traces his major themes and preoccupations in a way that will be extremely illuminating to those who are already familiar with this most fascinating of epics.
A splendid commentary, which will only delight and fascinate admirers of Tolkien - Sunday Telegraph
The book impels the reader to return and re-read Tolkien with a new insight - Library Journal
Cover design by Tony Meeuwissen. Photograph by Snowdon.
