Description

The Making of Middle-Earth: The Worlds of Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings This comprehensive exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien's world is now reissued with a stunning new cover design and updated commentary on new books, films, games, and shows. First published in 2013, the book delves into the diverse influences that shaped Tolkien's creation of Middle-earth, from medieval European languages and mythology to the impact of World War I on his work. The book examines the far-reaching effects of these influences on modern culture, tracing connections to 1960s counterculture, fantasy publishing, gaming, music, and beyond. Richly illustrated with photographs and artwork, The Making of Middle-Earth is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Tolkien's world. The reissued edition features a gorgeous, updated cover design with a custom illustration on foil-stamped faux cloth, as well as additional pages of material covering new developments.
