Description

Psychoanalysis and The Lord of the Rings applies Kleinian psychoanalytic theory to Tolkien's epic, exploring Frodo's psychological journey through Middle-earth as a Bildungsroman. Drawing on Donald Meltzer's groundbreaking work, this Routledge study interprets the novel as a map of the unconscious mind, where Frodo represents the evolving ego and other characters function as internal objects. The narrative domains Frodo traverses correlate with Meltzer's descriptions of the internal mother's compartments, revealing how Tolkien's mythology mirrors deep psychological structures. This scholarly analysis bridges psychoanalytic theory and literary criticism, offering readers fresh insight into how The Lord of the Rings dramatises the inner worlds of fantasy and the unconscious. Ideal for Tolkien scholars, psychoanalysis students, and those exploring the intersection of literature and depth psychology.
