Klappentext In this detailed look at "The Lord of the Rings, " author Jared Lobdell examines J. R. R. Tolkien's methods and worldview by following the thread of three influences: the science of philology, Roman Catholic theology, and the Edwardian adventure story. Tolkien's knowledge of Germanic and Celtic languages helps explain his use of period linguistics as well as his skill at coining memorable names. The author explores the Christian/Catholic underpinnings of the Rings series, with emphasis on the question of whether the books are set before the Fall of Man. This fascinating look at Tolkien's creative process is a must-have for all "Lord of the Rings" and Tolkien fans. Zusammenfassung It is misleading to refer to Lord of the Rings as a trilogy! or as medieval! or as a fantasy. Instead! Dr Lobdell meticulously follows the thread of three important influences: the Edwardian adventure story! the science of comparative languages! and Christian theology.
