520    Publisher's description: When first published, The Lord of
       the Rings stood far from the mainstream: no one had seen 
       anything like it for decades. Tolkien's almost stridently 
       antimodern tale needed valiant defenders, vocal admirers 
       who understood its sources and relished its monumental 
       scale. While such champions of modernism as Edmund Wilson 
       mocked Tolkien's archaic structure and language, W.H. 
       Auden -- a great modernist poet in his own right -- rose 
       to his defense with a spirited essay on the true nature of
       the Hero Quest. Edmund Fuller's essay collected here 
       discusses the nature of the fairy tale, returning to the 
       roots of the term to remove the treacle of Disney and 
       restore the value of realistic enchantment. Tolkien's 
       friend C.S. Lewis takes up the question of why, if you 
       have a serious comment to make about real life, you would 
       drape it in a never-never land of your own. He shrewdly 
       argues that it is because real life does have mythic and 
       heroic qualities -- in abundance. This collection also 
       includes, among others, essays by Marion Zimmer Bradley, 
       Verlyn Flieger, Paul Kocher, Jane Chance, and each of the 
       editors, as well as a brand-new essay by Tom Shippey that 
       shows us how to process all this vast learning, adding to 
       it the many delights of the film versions of Tolkien's 
       epic masterpiece, so we can relish his achievement all the
       more.
