Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Sources of Inspiration by Stratford Caldecott (

Description: Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Sources of Inspiration by Stratford Caldecott, Thomas Honegger In the year after his graduation from Exeter College, Oxford, the great mythopoeic work for which he would become famous was already germinating in Tolkiens mind. In August 2006 the College offered a week of seminars and papers by leading international specialists on Tolkiens Exeter years, the influence of the Great War, the healing power of his narrative, and its relevance to religious and linguistic studies, comparative mythology, and history. Priscilla Tolkien, C.S. Lewiss secretary and friend Walter Hooper, Tolkiens friend the Jesuit priest Robert Murray SJ, and grandson Simon Tolkien attended as special guests, representing the family and those who knew Tolkien personally. The conference was intended to encourage the growth of Tolkien Studies through international and interdisciplinary collaboration. The papers from this conference have been selected, edited, and supplemented by other essays on complementary themes especially for this volume, in order to reveal the dynamic growth of Tolkien Studies around the world. This book explores the spiritual, poetic, personal, and academic sources of inspiration for what is widely regarded as the greatest book of the twentieth century.
