Myth & Middle-Earth: Exploring the Medieval Legends Behind J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings - Leslie Ellen Jones

Myth &-Middle-earth is a unique look at the legends, myths, and folktales that found their way into J.R.R. Tolkien's classic works of fiction: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. A Celtic specialist by training, Leslie Ellen Jones discusses the Anglo-Saxon, Finnish, Old Norse, Germanic, Gothic and especially Celtic myths that Tolkien drew upon for his created worlds. Dragons and marching trees, cosmic couples, wizards, dwarves, Elves, shapeshifters, heroes and villains, riddle games - and the highly elaborate languages constructed for Middle-earth - it's all explored in this concise look at the wondrous universe created by Tolkien's deep breadth of knowledge and his magnificent imagination! źródło opisu: Cold Spring Press, 2002 źródło okładki: zdjęcie autorskie
