Synopsis

This compilation of essays closely studies the classic staple of children's literature by examining some of its themes-such as maturation and overcoming greed-exploring the world of Middle-earth, and comparing/contrasting the text with its popular sequel, The Lord of the Rings. In experience, the contributors span the entire history of Tolkien scholarship, from one who learned firsthand from J.R.R. Tolkien and his friend C.S. Lewis to young scholars just beginning their quests into the wild lands of literary critique.
