Tolkien in the Land of Heroes — Anne C. Petty

PRELOVED 

"...the land of heroes..is not just the realm of Middle-earth, but also Tolkien's vast and rich imagination. From it flowers the consideration of the human spirit, which is his deep humanity, his earnest concern for the fate of his fellow humans, and his hope for redemption in a world dominated by dark shadows...It matters not that most of the lives in question belong to creatures other than humans - elves, hobbits, dwarves, wizards, and the like. The same hopes and fears, torments, struggles, and joys that these characters experience are the forces that drive life on this planet...The major themes of society are all there, traced across the topography of Middle-earth and its connected environments." - From the Preface
