Description

J.R.R. Tolkien's literary cosmos is renowned for its profound influence on the fantasy genre. The posthumous editorial work of his son Christopher has reinforced the consistency and complexity of his world, Arda. Recent re-publications of Tolkien's lecture 'On Fairy-stories' have further solidified his position as a leading proponent of literary world-building. This volume brings together a diverse range of scholars to explore Tolkien's theoretical concepts and literary work, as well as the relationships between his approach and that of other notable 'literary world-builders'.
