Acclaimed as the best book about Tolkien' this award-winning biography explores JRR Tolkien's wartime experiences & their impact on his life & his writing of The Hobbit & The Lord of The Rings To be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than in 1939 by 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead So JRR Tolkien responded to critics who saw The Lord of the Rings as a reaction to the Second World War Tolkien & the Great War tells for the first time the full story of how he embarked on the creation of Middle-earth in his youth as the world around him was plunged into catastrophe This biography reveals the horror & heroism that he experienced as a signals officer in the Battle of the Somme & introduces the circle of friends who spurred his mythology to life It shows how after two of these brilliant young men were killed Tolkien pursued the dream they had all shared by launching his epic of good & evil John Garth argues that the foundation of tragic experience in the First World War is the key to Middle-earth's enduring power Tolkien used his mythic imagination not to escape from reality but to reflect & transform the cataclysm of his generatuion While his contemporaries surrendered to disillusionment he kept enchantment alive reshaping an entire literary tradition into a form that resonates to this day This is the first substantially new biography of Tolkien since 1977 meticulously researched & distilled from his personal wartime papers & a multitude of other sources ...

A new expanded edition of Tolkien's most famous & most important essay which defined his conception of fantasy as a literary form & which led to the writing of The Lord of the Rings Accompanied by a critical study of the history & writing of the text JRR Tolkien's On Fairy-stories is his most-studied & most-quoted essay an exemplary personal statement of his views on the role of imagination in literature & an intellectual tour de force vital for understanding Tolkien's achievement in the writing of The Lord of the Rings On Fairy-stories comprises about 18000 words What is little-known is that when Tolkien expanded the essay in 1943 he wrote many more pages of his views that were originally condensed into or cut from the published version An estimate is difficult but these unpublished passages perhaps amount to half again as much writing as the essay itself These passages contain important elaborations of his views on other writers & their publication represents a significant addition to Tolkien studies Included in this new critical study of the work are An introductory essay setting the stage for Tolkien's 1939 lecture (the origin of the essay) & placing it within a historical context A history of the writing of ' On Fairy-stories' beginning with coverage of the original lecture as delivered & continuing through to first publication in 1947 The essay proper as published in corrected form in Tree & Leaf (1964) Commentary on the allusions in the text & notes about the revisions Tolkien made to the text as published in Tree & Leaf Important material not included in the essay as published with commentary by the editors Contained within On Fairy-stories are the roots of the tree of tales that bore such glittering fruit in Tolkien's published & unpublished work Here at last Flieger & Anderson reveal through literary archaeology the extraordinary genesis of this seminal work & discuss in their engaging commentary how what Tolkien discovered during the writing of the essay would shape his writing for the rest of his life ...
