  • Tolkien's Inspirations and Influences in His Book, Intentionally It Seems
    Last updated 9 March 2008 Tolkien’s inspirations and influences on his works An alphabetical entry list compiled by Ardamir of the Lord of the Rings Fanatics Forum (http://www.lotrplaza.com/forum/) While reading J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter about 2½ years ago, I noticed that he mentions many of Tolkien's inspirations and influences in his book, intentionally it seems. I took the opportunity to start listing these inspirations along with their sources, and have since then used many other sources for my list. I am listing elements in Tolkien's works in alphabetical order, along with their respective inspirations, and the sources I have used. Many of the inspirations are (very) speculative, and those I have marked with a '?', but some are obvious. The list is not meant (at least not yet) to be a detailed investigation of Tolkien's inspirations but rather to include just the relevant information and gather all the inspirations in one place for each entry. I know that it has many defects, and it is somewhat lacking in sources and references, but I am constantly improving it while adding more and more inspirations. I would greatly appreciate it if other people would take a look at it and tell me what they think about it, and also suggest additions and improvements. I am not making the list just for the benefit of myself, but for everyone. I update the list almost every day. Bolded (emphasized) parts of quotes by me. Entries that are names are in italics. Entries for text passages can be found in a separate section at the end.
