Description
This Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature volume provides a deep analysis of the role history plays within the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. The text examines how the events of The Lord of the Rings are situated against a background of existing history, both within the fictional worlds and in reality. Readers will explore how history is unfolded through various methods, including archival annals and stories shared by characters during their journeys. The book investigates the different visions of history that emerge throughout the narratives and examines how the history within these works can resemble or be patterned after real-world histories. From the deep past to the unfolding stories on the road, this study offers a detailed look at the relationship between Tolkien's fiction and historical structures.
