Tolkien's Mythology for
England
A Guide to Middle-Earth
Edmund Wainwright
Tolkien set out to create a mythology for
England and the English but the popularity of his books and the
recent films has spread across the English-speaking world and
beyond.
You will find here an outline of Tolkien's life and work. The
main part of the book consists of an alphabetical subject entry
which will help you gain a greater understanding of Tolkien's
Middle-Earth, the creatures that inhabit it, and the languages
they spoke. It will also give an insight into a culture and way-of-life
that extolled values which are as valid today as they were over
1,000 years ago.
This book focuses on The Lord of the Rings and shows
how Tolkien's knowledge of Anglo-Saxon and Norse literature and
history helped shape its plot and characters.
