Book Synopsis England and Always by : Jared Lobdell
Book excerpt: "Since its publication in 1954-55, J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings continues to be one of the most popular works ever published. Although there are scores of critical studies which examine this classic three-volume novel and its author, none of them make full use of three evident facts about Tolkien's life: 1) that he was raised in Edwardian England, 2) that he was a philologist, and 3) that he was a Roman Catholic. Jared Lobdell here creatively uses these facts to define the mode of The Lord of the Rings, examine the appeal of its language, and explore its religious structure. In his final essay he reviews his conclusions in an attempt to define Tolkien's genius and universal appeal." --
