From the Publisher
Ursula Le Guin has this to say about *Defending Middle-Earth*: "Though modernism defines fantasy as irrelevance, readers know better.... What Tolkien offers is 'hope without guarantees,' and Curry shows us how he does it. A most valuable and timely book."
Tom Shippey says: "Curry sees deep into the spiritual heart of Tolkien's world, and explains it in clear and unaffected language. The shade of Tolkien would nod approval."
David Abram says: "...this audacious little gem of a book: a luminous study of *The Lord of the Rings* and its growing relevance for our era."
