29 May 2004Don't let the word "philology" deter you
This book is quite simply superb in every conceiveable respect.
6 January 2003Excellent Background to Tolkien's Works
Tom Shippey's book focuses on the creative process leading to LOTR and the Silmarillion and draws from all of Tolkien's other works as well as a variety of other appropriate works that were familiar to Tolkien.
16 March 2001A solid introduction to Tolkien literary analysis
I only have one complaint about The Road to Middle-earth and that is that Shippey doesn't concede an inch to Tolkien's non-Anglo-Saxon influences.
