R. R. Tolkien’s popularity has never been higher. In Green Suns and Faërie, author Verlyn Flieger, one of world’s foremost Tolkien scholars, presents a selection of her best articles―some never before published―on a range of Tolkien topics.The essays are divided into three distinct sections. The first explores Tolkien’s ideas of sub-creation–the making of a Secondary World and its relation to the real world, the second looks at Tolkien’s reconfiguration of the medieval story tradition, and the third places his work firmly within the context of the twentieth century and “modernist” literature. With discussions ranging from Tolkien’s concepts of the hero to the much- misunderstood nature of Bilbo’s last riddle in The Hobbit, Flieger reveals Tolkien as a man of both medieval learning and modern sensibility―one who is deeply engaged with the past and future, the regrets and hopes, the triumphs and tragedies, and above all the profound difficulties and dilemmas of his troubled century.Taken in their entirety, these essays track a major scholar’s deepening understanding of the work of the master of fantasy. Green Suns and Faërie is sure to become a cornerstone of Tolkien scholarship. Verlyn Flieger can always be counted upon to produce scholarly and fascinating essays on J.R.R. Tolkien. In Green Suns and Faerie we have a collection of some of her best work divided into three parts: first examining Tolkiens world and its relationship to our own, then looking at Tolkiens use of the medieval story traditon, and finally placing Tolkien within the context of twentieth century modernism. The primary focus of the essays is on Middle-earth, but there are a number which also deal with Tolkiens famous lecture On Fairy Stories and his shorter work Smith of Wootton Major (Flieger has edited both of these works and expanded upon them with intriguing new material, but unfortunately neither has been published in the US.)As always when reading Flieger I found so much that was new to me. I was dazzled by her explanation of the neck riddle in The Hobbit and enthralled by her discussions of such disparate topics as reincarnation, the contrast (or connection) between fate and free will, and especially by her written debate with Tom Shippey over Smith of Wootton Major. One essay, on Tolkien and the Matter of Britain, was especially resonant now that his unfinished poem The Fall of Arthur has been published. But the article I most enjoyed dealt with a topic that was especially personal to Tolkien: his friendship with Rob Gilson and Geoffrey Bache Smith, both of whom were killed in World War I.Reading Flieger is like having a long and pleasant conversation with a highly knowledgeable friend about an author whose works we both dearly love.

    THE JOURNAL OF INKLINGS STUDIES Stratford Caldecott and Thomas Honegger (eds), Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: Sources of Inspiration Review by Faith Liu The Journal of Inklings Studies Vol. 5, No. 1, April 2015 Stratford Caldecott and Thomas Honegger (eds), Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: Sources of Inspiration. Zollikofen: Walking Tree Publishers, 2008. 237 pp. ISBN 978-3905703122. The contents of Stratford Caldecott and those, rather than analyzing text for Thomas Honegger’s collection have Tolkien’s own ‘sources of inspiration’, less to do with the actual inspiration utilize passages only as illustrations behind Tolkien’s composition than with for broader theses or comparative study the recent critical effort to consider his with another work or author. The works as a source of inspiration for search for a genuine unifying principle scholarship across and beyond in lieu of such a title proves Tolkein’s oeuvre.

Downloaded On 2021/10/01 14:58:43 -0400 HE NAME OF THE RING: OR, THERE AND BACK AGAIN JANET BRENNAN CROFT HE WHOLE OF ‘MIDDLE-EARTH’ WAS MORGOTH’S RING” (Morgoth’s Ring “T [MR] 400). What did Tolkien mean by this somewhat cryptic statement, which appears in an unpublished essay titled “Notes on motives in The Silmarillion” and nowhere else, and from which the tenth volume of The History of Middle-earth takes its title? Tolkien goes on to explain that Morgoth’s power was “disseminated” throughout Middle-earth; that it was “nowhere absent” though “nowhere absolute,” and was a prerequisite for using any sort of matter towards an evil magical end. If Arda is Morgoth’s Ring, with his power infusing the whole world, and Sauron’s “relatively smaller” power is, in comparison, “concentrated” in the Ring of his own making (MR 400), what might this imply if we follow this thread to the tangled knot at its end? In Middle-earth, it seems that evil suffers a steady decline from the cosmic to the petty over the course of “the long defeat” of Arda, in the same way that Verlyn Flieger demonstrates that Light in the legendarium appears in “progressively lessening intensities [, e]ach light […] dimmer than the one before it, splintered by Tolkien’s sub-creators” (Splintered Light, 60).

  • Introduction to DR
    1 INTRODUCTION Deep roots in a time of frost, then. Or, as seems more likely, fire. But in either case, the roots of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work run deep indeed. It will outlive that of most of his contemporaries and successors, and promises give succour to people we will never know in their own dark times. My own concern is with one aspect in particular: its enchantment, both as a theme in the work itself and as an effect on its readers. I have gone into some detail about enchantment in the essays that follow which I won’t repeat here, but you won’t go far wrong if you remember that it is first and foremost about wonder. (I’m sorry for some repetition in the essays themselves, by the way, but it’s unavoidable when they often address and return to the same themes.) Enchantment was also a prime concern for Tolkien, and he contrasted it sharply with magic, or will. With good reason, the Ring of Power is a magic ring, and the most powerful magician in Middle-Earth was, of course, Sauron. He was also the most technologically advanced one. There is no contradiction here; our magic, so to speak, is modern technoscience. (‘Magic’ and ‘machine’ most probably share the same root in Proto-Indo- European: *magh, meaning ‘to have power’.) Tolkien’s term for enchantment was Faërie, meaning both the place where you go when you are enchanted and the state you are in when you find yourself there. It is a fundamentally non-modern place and experience.1 And the central figure in and of Faërie is the Elf.

As this is a review for the Journal of Tolkien Research, a volume with the title A Companion to J.R.R. Tolkien will undoubtedly be of interest to Tolkien students and scholars. Reviewing such a lengthy scholarly work is indeed both a daunting and equally challenging task. The reason for this is twofold: 1) the academic profile of the volume and 2) the eminent line-up of Tolkien scholars who have contributed their specific knowledge to each of the thirty-six papers in this volume.

    Ents, Elves, and Eriador Culture of the Land A Series in the New Agrarianism is series is devoted to the exploration and articulation of a new agrarian- ism that considers the health of habitats and human communities together. It is intended to demonstrate how agrarian insights and responsibilities can be worked out in diverse fields of learning and living: history, science, art, politics, economics, literature, philosophy, religion, urban planning, edu- cation, and public policy. Agrarianism is a comprehensive worldview that appreciates the intimate and practical connections which exist between humans and the earth. It stands as our most promising alternative to the unsustainable and destructive ways of current global, industrial, and con- sumer culture.
