520 1 $a"Recent polls have consistently declared that J. R. R. Tolkien is "the most influential author of the century" and The Lord of the Rings is "the book of the century." In support of these claims, Tom Shippey, a prominent medievalist and scholar of fantasy, now presents us with a fascinating companion to the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, focusing in particular on The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.".
520 8 $a"The core of the book consists of three chapters that examine The Lord of the Rings as a linguistic and cultural map, as a twisted web of story, and as a response to the meaning of myth. Shippey presents a unique argument to explain the nature of evil and gives readers a compelling insight into the complicated interweaving of the many strands of the story.
520 8 $aOther chapters examine The Hobbit, explaining the hobbits' anachronistic relationship to the heroic world of Middle-earth; show the fundamental importance of The Silmarillion to Tolkien's canon; and take an illuminating look at Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle, and other lesser-known works in connection with Tolkien's life."--BOOK JACKET.
