Description

Tolkien: A Cultural Phenomenon explores the development of J.R.R. Tolkien's creative technique over several decades, tracing his contribution to the history of ideas and the reception of his work in film adaptations. The book delves into the bewildering profusion of shorter works that accompany Tolkien's most famous novel, The Lord of the Rings, before focusing an extended analysis on this epic tale. Recent developments in scholarship and the impact of Peter Jackson's films are also considered within this comprehensive account. By examining the cultural significance of Tolkien's work, B. Rosebury provides a nuanced understanding of the author's place within the broader context of literary theory and criticism.
