R. R. Tolkien, for his works have taught me about the importance and value of stories and have shown me the significance and relevance of taking action upon need and of being mindful about the impact of my decisions. Without his valuable lessons, much of what I have done would not have been possible. I am also immensely indebted to my family, mainly for their constant support and for having taught and shown me that the strong-willed often achieve their goals. Special thanks to my dearly beloved Junie, for reminding me every day that I am capable of doing whatever I put my effort on. I obviously cannot forget to include my friends here: Gustavo, Alexandre, Jéssica, Mario, Yana, Carol, and Alisson: friendship with you compensates for much; it gives, indeed, value to survival. Sandra, my dear advisor and friend, thanks for aiding me through all the writing process with your precious insights and also for being such a deep source of wisdom, friendship, encouragement, and kind words. Professors Luciane, Marcia, and Valter, thanks for accepting to read, evaluate, and enhance my research with your bright comments. Thanks to UFRGS and all its Professors who have guided me and instructed me since 2011. Finally, I would also like to thank all those I have lost along the Road. I hope our paths may meet again. But while that does not happen, I go on and hope for the best, for there is no knowing where this beautiful and perilous Road that life is will take me next. Yet, no matter where I go, I will carry your memories on. “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” (J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings) RESUMO O Hobbit (1937) e O Senhor dos Anéis (1954-1955) podem ser vistos como respostas literárias a questões recorrentes nos séculos XVIII, XIX e início do XX. O ritmo crescente da industrialização e a ascensão do secularismo foram pontos centrais para o crescente sentimento de fragmentação, alienação e deslocamento que culminou no impacto devastador da Primeira Guerra Mundial. A literatura produzida na primeira metade do século XX é marcada, em grande parte, pela imagem recorrente do mundo retratado como uma terra desolada, com seus habitantes sem fé, esperança, ou crenças para lhes dar força. Em contrapartida, as obras de J. R. R. Tolkien apresentam um universo onde o poder da fé, do altruísmo, da compaixão e de outras virtudes auxiliam seu povo a restaurar o sentimento de conexão humana, a força da união e a crença em um futuro melhor. O escopo deste trabalho reside em investigar como O Hobbit e O Senhor dos Anéis abordam e respondem aos dias sombrios do tempo do autor e como essas respostas podem ser vistas como uma forma de preservar o passado, guiar o presente, e moldar o futuro. Para tal objetivo, realizo uma análise da figura, da função e do aspecto anacrônico dos hobbits, à luz da teoria de Tolkien sobre narrativas de fantasia proposta no ensaio “Sobre Histórias de Fadas”. Esta dissertação aborda, também, o conceito de estrada como uma metáfora que é relevante para o entendimento da ficção do autor e de suas crenças a respeito da importância das histórias. Como instrumentos para conduzir minha investigação, faço uso dos estudos de fantasia propostos por Tolkien, Tom Shippey, Theresa Freda Nicolay, Verlyn Flieger, entre outros. Ao aproximar os textos destes acadêmicos da forma como os romances foram escritos, argumento sobre a importância da proposta de Tolkien para a literatura de seu tempo e dos dias atuais. Palavras-chave: Literatura Inglesa; J. R. R. Tolkien; O Hobbit; O Senhor dos Anéis; Anacronismo. ABSTRACT The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955) can be seen as literary responses to recurrent issues from the 18th, 19th, and beginning of the 20th centuries. The increasing pace of industrialization and the rise of secularism were key points to the growing feelings of fragmentation, alienation, and dislocation that culminated with the devastating impact of WWI. The literature produced in the first half of the twentieth century is marked, to a great extent, by the recurring image of the world depicted as a waste land, with its inhabitants lacking in faith, hope, and beliefs to hold on to. Contrarily to that, the works of J. R. R. Tolkien portray a universe where the power of faith, selflessness, compassion, and other virtues aid its people in restoring the sense of human connection, power of community- building, and belief in a hopeful future. The scope of this work lies in investigating how Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings address and respond to the dark days of their author’s time, and how these responses can be seen as a way of preserving the past, guiding the present, and shaping the future. In order to do so, I will perform an analysis of the figure of the hobbits, their function in the novels, and also their anachronistic trait under the light of Tolkien’s theory concerning fantasy narratives as proposed in the essay “On Fairy Stories”. This thesis also addresses the concept of the road as a metaphor, which is of great importance to a broader understanding of the author's fiction and his beliefs concerning the importance of stories. As tools to conduct my investigation, I rely on the studies of fantasy proposed by Tolkien, Tom Shippey, Theresa Freda Nicolay, Verlyn Flieger, and other prominent scholars of the field. By approaching the studies of these theorists to the way the novels were written, I argue about Tolkien’s relevance to the literature of his time and the present days. Keywords: English Literature; The Hobbit; The Lord of the Rings; J. R. R. Tolkien; Anachronism. AUTHOR’S NOTE Dear reader, this work was carried out strictly for academic purposes. Therefore, it does not reverse profits to me, nor to my supervisor or institution. All excerpts from Tolkien’s books cited are properly referenced according to the editions used. The images at the end of the work were scanned from physical copies of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and are also accompanied by the necessary references. Concerning the footnotes, most of them are aimed to readers who are not fully acquainted with Tolkien’s works and they offer brief explanations concerning the characters, regions and internal history of the books. A few of these notes, however, are used to give extra information concerning specific terminology used in the research. I would also like to highlight that this thesis is concerned with a highly religious writer, who was instructed from his early childhood in the Catholic faith. Therefore, considerations concerning “good” and “evil”, “right” and “wrong”, among others, are mostly guided by Tolkien’s worldview and do not necessarily represent general beliefs.

Spiars An Honors Project submitted to the University of Indianapolis Ron and Laura Strain Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Baccalaureate degree “with distinction.” Written under the direction of Dr. John Berners. March 21, 2017. Approved by: __________________________________________________________________ Dr. John Berners, Faculty Advisor ______________________________________________________________ Dr. James Williams, Interim Executive Director, Ron and Laura Strain Honors College ______________________________________________________________________ First Reader ______________________________________________________________________ Second Reader i Abstract The poetic texts in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings have provided a wealth of resources to writers and composers since their publishing. Varying in style, character, and idea, these poems and songs offer an inside look of the Middle Earth that Tolkien carefully crafted. Intending to set several of these texts to original music, I studied the life and influences of Tolkien, with the goal of producing a well-developed and thought-out product. My studies covered cultures of both our world and Middle-Earth, including Anglo-Saxon, Finnish, and Welsh. After extensive reading of biographies, analyses, essays, and articles, I developed a cohesive perception of Tolkien's subcreation and chose my texts. With distinctly separate characteristics, my compositions each depict

  • By MICHAEL R HICKMAN
    the religious ritual S, practise of the elves of middle - earth at the time of the war of the ring by MICHAEL R HICKMAN ZS a n a 'o n a f t letter* written in 195«i Tolkien denied that there was any 'religion’ in Middle-earth. However he was referring to the existence of an organised religion with buildings, priestly cults, etc.: In fact there Is much evidence of religion in The Lord of the Rings. In The Road Goes Ever On Tolkien wrote about Elvish songs in praise of Elbereth, "The E lv e s s in g hymns to h e r,"1 and then commented, "(T h e s e and o th e r references to religion in Th^ Lord of the Rings are frequently o v e rlo o k e d !"1. In a small way I would like to remedy this 'overlooking'. As a teacher of Religious Studies and as an avid reader of Tolkien's books I have often thought about studying the religious practices and beliefs of the peoples of Middle-earth by applying to them the techniques employed In the study of religion. The study of religion has been transformed over the past few decades. One of the most Influential thinkers In bringing about this change has been Professor Ninian Smart of Lancaster University. He developed a method of studying the phenomenon of religion by categorising it in the six major ways in which all religion manifests itself. These ways he refers to as 'dimensions'. They have become well known and are called Smart's Six Dimensions of Religion.

  • English/Medieval Studies 318: Jrr Tolkien
    RICE UNIVERSITY SPRING, 2006 ENGLISH/MEDIEVAL STUDIES 318: J. R. R. TOLKIEN 10:50-12:05 TTH Dr. Jane Chance J.R.R. Tolkien is now recognized as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century for his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings (written during a period from the end of the thirties to the early fifties). As an Oxford Professor and eminent medievalist, he wrote out of what he knew about Old English, Old Norse, and Middle English literature. As a contemporary of T.S. Eliot, George Orwell, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and other modernists, he wrote out of what he had lived through. The course will trace the tension between the exile--the wraecca--and the community, otherness and heroism, identity and marginalization, revenge and forgiveness. To locate The Lord of the Rings within a broader historical and literary context, we will trace the development of Tolkien's art, beginning with The Silmarillion and The Hobbit and following up with The Lord of the Rings as a mythology for England. Along the way we will investigate his works on fantasy and mythmaking, such as “Mythopoiea,” “Leaf by Niggle,” and “On Fairy-Stories.” Clearly evident will be his interest in medievalness—especially the Old English Beowulf and the Finnish Kalevala. Cassettes and films of and about Tolkien and his writings will supplement readings and discussions. Requirements: Class attendance is expected; your grade will be based on class participation/quizzes; 2 papers (5-7 pages each); a midterm and a final examination. Texts (in order of reading): 1 Readings (both required and recommended texts) will also be placed on reserve (see below).
