Description
Tolkien and Modernity: Tolkien on Love explores the concept of love in two of J.R.R. Tolkien's most famous works, The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings. This volume is part of a two-part series examining Tolkien as a 'contemporary writer', responding to the challenges of the modern world. The papers collected here focus on key themes such as the impact of 20th-century events, feminist theory, time, creativity, and freedom. By examining these topics through Tolkien's lens, this book sheds new light on his works and their relevance to our understanding of love and its place in the world today. Through a collection of scholarly essays, Tolkien and Modernity offers a nuanced exploration of Tolkien's ideas on love and their enduring significance.
