  • The Hobbit by J.R.R
    Discussion Guide THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. Tolkien Rhymes Professor Tolkien was deeply interested in words, their meanings, and the ways they could be used. He loved rhymes, riddles, proverbs, sayings, songs, folktales, and stories. The reader will notice Tolkien’s use of verse in telling us about his characters. For example, here is a verse from a goblin song: Clap! Snap! The black crack! Grip, grab! Pinch, nab! And down, down to Goblin-town You go, my lad! Do they sound jolly and friendly? Hardly! Here’s an elf song: O! Will you be staying About the Book Your ponies are straying! Many decades ago in England, a highly respected TheOr will daylight you be is flying? dying! professor at Oxford was correcting exam papers and, having a few minutes to spare, idly scribbled on a blank To stay would be jolly page in an exam book, “In a hole in the ground there ToAnd fly listen would and be harkfolly, lived a hobbit.” He didn’t even know what a hobbit was, Till the end of the dark or why he wrote those words. But they were, neverthe- To our tune less, the beginning of one of the most famous fantasy ha! ha! adventure tales ever written. The professor was J.R.R. Tolkien, and the book, of course, was The Hobbit. This sounds lighthearted and merry, a song of friend- Tolkien was a teacher of (among other things) philology ship and feasting.

  • Studies in the Sources of J.R.R. Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings
    .-- . .,l,.. .I~ i . ,. s._ .i. -_. _..-..e.. _ . (3 f Preface i In the Spring of 1968 while I was studying the Old English poem Beowulf with Dr. Rudolph Bambas, my colleague and classmate Judith Moore suggested that I might enjoy reading a new work by J:R.R. Tolkien, known to us as the editor of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the author of that seminal article -- “Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics.” The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings delighted me that summer. In the fall, at the urging of another colleague, I enrolled in the Old Norse seminar. That conjunction of events proved to be the beginning of a lifelong study of Northern literature and its contributions to the cauldron of story which produced The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and The Unfinished Tales. The first version of this study became my doctoral dissertation -- “Studies in the Sources of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.“1 Throughout the years that followed while I was either teaching college English or working as a librarian, I have continued my research. The original study was based on about twenty-five sagas; that number has been tripled. Christopher Tolkien’s careful publication of The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales, and six volumes of The Historv of Middle-earth has greatlyreatly expanded the canon available for scholarly study. Humphrey Carpenter’s authorized biography has also been helpful. However, the Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien have produced both the . greatest joy and the greatest terror.
