A collection of hard to obtain essays on Tolkien by a fellow philologist. This is the approach to Tolkien that makes the most sense to me, and Shippey is the writer whose logic and prose suit me best. Fascinating reading, and rereading. Highly recommended. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 390570305X, Paperback)

Professor Tom Shippey is best known for his books 'The Road to Middle-earth' and 'J.R.R. Tolkien. Author of the Century'. Yet they are not the only contributions of his to Tolkien studies. Over the years, he has written and lectured widely on Tolkien-related topics. Unfortunately, many of his essays, though still topical, are no longer available. The current volume unites for the first time a selection of his older essays together with some new, as yet unpublished articles.
