Items related to Tolkien : A Look Behind 'the Lord of the Rings
2003, fully revised and updated hardcover edition (this title was first published by Lin Carter in 1969; the specially revised, updated edition, with new material was composed and edited by Adam Roberts), Gollancz, London. Impressively compiled and written, 188 pages, very technical, with exhaustive research. The informed appendices include a bibliography and a checklist of critical literature related to The Lord of the Rings. After the worldwide success of the movie versions of The Lord of the Rings, the standard work about the sequence, written in the 1960s, was totally revised and updated for an audience who wanted to know more about the creation of the series. Here that revised updated edition is presented, beautifully written by a man who knows his fantasy and science fiction.

About the Author:
If JRR Tolkien was the single author most responsible for the existence of Fantasy as a modern publishing genre then the single editor and critic with the same claim was Lin Carter. His tireless advocacy of both modern fantasy writers and their historical forbears as the first editor on the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series was hugely influential.
