520 8  This richly illustrated book explores the huge creative 
       endeavour behind Tolkien's enduring popularity. Lavishly 
       illustrated with over 300 images of his manuscripts, 
       drawings, maps and letters, the book traces the creative 
       process behind his most famous literary works--'The 
       Hobbit', 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Silmarillion' 
       and reproduces personal photographs and private papers 
       (some of which have never been seen before in print). 
       Tolkien drew on his deep knowledge of medieval literature 
       and language to inform his literary imagination. Six 
       introductory essays cover some of the main themes in 
       Tolkien's life and work including the influence of 
       northern languages and legends on the creation of his own 
       legendarium; his concept of 'Faerie' as a literary 
       construct; the central importance of his invented 
       languages in his fantasy writing; his visual imagination 
       and its emergence in his artwork; and the encouragement he
       derived from the literary group known as the Inklings. 
       This book brings together the largest collection of 
       original Tolkien material ever assembled in a single 
       volume. Drawing on the archives of the Tolkien collections
       at the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford, and Marquette 
       University, Milwaukee, as well as private collections, 
       this exquisitely produced catalogue draws together the 
       worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien--scholarly, literary, creative 
       and domestic--offering a rich and detailed understanding 
       and appreciation of this extraordinary author. Exhibition:
       The Bodleian Libraries, Oxford, UK (01.06.-28.10.2018).
