 | Tolkien (1969) A Look Behind the Lord of the Rings A non fiction book by Lin Carter |
Lin Carter introduces readers to Tolkien's epic trilogy, then takes them on a scholarly yet populist journey through the massive web of myths and legends that Tolkien drew on for both imagery and themes during his life's work. Carter's book places Tolkien's trilogy in the context of world mythology and legend and is a tribute to Tolkien's power of assimilation and original vision. This is a useful introduction to the background of the "Lord of the Rings" for the legions of new fans.
