Tolkien the Medievalist
provides a fresh perspective on J. R. R. Tolkien's Medievalism. In
fifteen essays, eminent scholars and new voices explore how
Professor Tolkien responded to a modern age of crisis - historical,
academic and personal - by adapting his scholarship on medieval
literature to his own personal voice. The four sections reveal the
author influenced by his profession, religious faith and important
issues of the time; by his relationships with other medievalists;
by the medieval sources that he read and taught, and by his own
medieval mythologizing.
