Description
Tolkien's Lost Chaucer explores an unpublished and previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien, written between 1922 and 1928. This commentary, part of his Clarendon edition Selections from Chaucer's Poetry and Prose, offers insight into Tolkien's early thinking on language and storytelling. Drawing upon other new materials, including his edition of the Reeve's Tale and Oxford lectures on the Pardoner's Tale, this book sheds light on how Chaucer influenced Tolkien's literary imagination. A unique window into the development of one of fantasy literature's most iconic authors.
