About this title

Synopsis

As is the case with all great works of art, J. R. R. Tolkien's masterpieces generously repay close attention and study. In this thoroughly entertaining and perceptive volume, winner of the prestigious Mythopoeic Society Scholarship Award, Professor Kocher examines the sources that Tolkien drew upon in fashioning Middle-earth and its inhabitants-and provides valuable insights into the author's aims and methods. Ranging from The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings to The Silmarillion and beyond, Master of Middle-earth opens the door to a deeper and richer appreciation of Tolkien's magnificent achievement.

From the Back Cover

“Mr. Kocher marks out the ground on which we should take Tolkien seriously. He is a sensible, unpedantic guide.”
—The New York Review of Books

“Without a doubt, the very best book on Tolkien’s fantasy.”
—The University Bookman
“A WINNER . . . IMPELS THE READER TO RETURN AND REREAD TOLKIEN WITH NEW INSIGHT.”
—Library Journal
