A apparent when he says hobbits like “books filled with role of a scholar is to offer perspectives on the depth things that they already knew;” many who disparage and significance of a text, and minimize a political The Lord of the Rings do it because the work is not agenda or self-aggrandizement.

    Q&A How did you become involved in doing research? My research developed out of my final paper for English 598, Mapping London. We were given the freedom to work with any texts which we could use to facilitate an examination of British culture, and so I turned to an area of my own interest, fantasy literature and Tolkien. How is the research process different from what you expected? The research process spread my focus out from the primary texts with which I was working and quickly intermeshed my argument in the larger scholarly community. I was involved in the debate in a much more direct About Ryan Smith manner than I had expected I would be during undergraduate research. HOMETOWN What is your favorite part of doing research?

  • The Worlds of Middle-Earth
    541862 Ch01.qxd 9/5/03 11:09 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 The Worlds of Middle-earth In This Chapter ᮣ The location and origin of Middle-earth ᮣ Tolkien’s idea of fantasy ᮣ The underlying mythology of Middle-earth ᮣ Tolkien’s strange and wonderful beings ᮣ The historical framework of Middle-earth ᮣ Middle-earth’s diverse languages n its broadest sense, geography is the study of the physical features of the Iworld as well as its biological and cultural characteristics. When attempt- ing to deal with the “geography” of a fantasy world like Middle-earth, as envi- sioned by J.R.R. Tolkien, you’re almost compelled to use this wider definition, even if your only goal is to get an overview of its many features. For Tolkien’s Middle-earth is never just one of physical geography filled with strange lands, weird creatures, and unfamiliar cultures. As Tolkien conceived it over the better part of his life, Middle-earth is also a world rich in its own mythology, history, and languages. This chapter gives an overview of the various worlds that await you in your journey to Tolkien’s Middle-earth, while at the same time familiarizing you with how these realms are covered in the rest of the book. It opens by exploring the questions of where exactly Middle-earth is located and why Tolkien chose the name Middle-earth for his fantasy world. The chapter then looks at Middle- earth as a fantasy realm in light of Tolkien’s ideas on the importance of fairy- tale in our lives.

  • Book of the Lost Narrator: Rereading the 1977 Silmarillion As a Unified Text
    101 Book of the Lost Narrator: Re-reading the 1977 Silmarillion as a Unified Text1 Dennis Wilson Wise 1. Introduction In Tolkien’s famous essay about Beowulf and the critics, he chides his colleagues for failing to treat the poem as a literary object; they neglect its aesthetic beauty while snuffling around for philological or genealogical data. In a way, I apply much the same point to readers of Tolkien’s own 1977 Silmarillion. Christopher Tolkien had once written that he treated the 1977 text “of the same order as the writings published by my father himself” (UT 3), a “completed and cohesive entity” rather than “a complex of divergent texts interlinked by commentary” (1). Christopher Tolkien later distanced himself from this position, deeply regretting that he “attached no importance” to his father’s concerns about presentation (LT I xi) and thereby left for The Silmarillion “no suggestion of what it is and how (within the imagined world) it came to be” (xii). Understandably, Tolkien scholars followed this path, discounting The Silmarillion for the much more authentic-seeming History of Middle-earth. Additionally, they see the 1977 text, though powerful in places, as a product rife with flaws, uneven in structure and detail, sadly heterogeneous in style, and furthermore marred by the editor’s unavoidable hand. I wish to present an alternative reading of the 1977 text. Like Gergely Nagy, but for profoundly different reasons, I believe that The Silmarillion, “exactly as it stands in the 1977 text, is a profound work” (“Adapted” 35), a narrative and rhetorical masterpiece. I do not value The Silmarillion for its hint of avant-texts or textual prehistory, its echoes of oral folklore transformed into written forms.

  • INSTRUCTION MANUAL INTRODUCTION This Game Is Largely Concerned with Hobbits, and from It a Player May Discover Much of Their Character and a Little of Their History
    INSTRUCTION MANUAL INTRODUCTION This game is largely concerned with Hobbits, and from it a player may discover much of their character and a little of their history. Further information will also be found in the pages of the Red Book of Westmarch, so wonderfully translated and presented by the late Professor Tolkien in his works “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”. For those who have not had the pleasure of discovering the world of Middle Earth a word or two of information regarding hobbits, and the other inhabitants of that place is in order. Therefore in these few pages we have set out a few notes providing a short history of Middle Earth, and brief notes on the races and important personages that dwell there. In order to make this booklet as easy as possible it has been divided up into sections. There is an introduction to Middle Earth, this should provide those who have no knowledge of the story of The Lord of the Rings with enough background to play the game. A full glossary has also been included, this gives you further background information on each of the races, characters and places in the game. The gameplay section is divided up into controls and strategy. The former tells you how you actually play the game, the latter gives you some hints on the ways in which you may try to win. However with a game of this complexity it is impossible to give a single strategy that will work, or indeed to say that any strategy is doomed to failure.

  • The Hobbit, 40 Hole, and That Means Comfort
    John Ronald Reuel Tolkien 35 Chapter I : An Unexpected Party In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit- The Hobbit, 40 hole, and that means comfort. 5 or There and Back Again It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube- shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with J.R.R.Tolkien, 1937 (Second Edition, 1951) 45 panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats - the hobbit was fond 10 Notes to second edition of visitors.
