Tolkien described The Lord of the Rings as "a fundamentally religious and Catholic work" and declared, "I am a Christian (which can be deduced from my stories)." Yet he insisted his writings were not allegories, and Middle-earth is loved by millions who do not share his religious beliefs. How were his faith and his fiction related? Holly Ordway answers that question biographically, focusing on Tolkien's spiritual development, a dramatic story that previous accounts of his life have left largely unexplored. Here we find that Tolkien's faith was hard won. His Anglican upbringing was overturned when his mother converted to Catholicism. Soon afterward, she died, leaving Tolkien under the guardianship of a Catholic priest, who forbade him to see his Protestant girlfriend, whom nonetheless he eventually married. The Great War, in which most of his close friends were killed, deepened Tolkien's reliance on his faith, but then for a decade he "almost ceased to practise" his religion. Friendship with C.S. Lewis and success with The Hobbit were followed by another war and by turmoil in the Church that sternly tested Tolkien's commitments. The challenges and triumphs in his religious life are reflected in his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings , that epic tale of endurance against the odds. As Ordway shows in her expertly researched and richly illustrated study, Tolkien's faith and Tolkien's fiction are intimately related, though in subtle and complex ways. This long-overdue spiritual biography gives new insight into his works by shedding fresh light on their author's deepest-held convictions.

Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-59 traces J. R. R. Tolkien's critical engagements with Geoffrey Chaucer from his undergraduate Oxford essays in 1913 to remarks in his retirement lecture in 1959. Reprinted with both Tolkien's own annotations and new notes from the authors, this book analyses his major articles such as ^"Chaucer as a Philologist: The Reeve's Tale", as well as his unpublished edition of the Reeve's Tale and his lectures on the Clerk's Tale and the Pardoner's Tale. Though his scholarship was best known for his work on Beowulf, Tolkien was also an expert on Geoffrey Chaucer. He lectured on Chaucer, edited Chaucer, and published essays on Chaucer. Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-59 reprints many of these works for the first time, and documents Tolkien's career-long engagement with the poet and traces his influence in Tolkien's own works. Bowers and Steffensen reveal how the Reeve's Tale was a source for Tolkien's description of Merry and Pippin's battle with Saruman, and how the Pardoner's Tale influenced Tolkien's own story of men fighting to the death over a gold treasure. Chaucer emerges as a major source of inspiration for Tolkien's creative writings and profoundly formative in the creation of The Lord of the Rings.

Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's wartime experiences, this biography details their impact on his life and his writing of "The Lord of The Rings".

* TOLKIEN * Now a major motion picture Acclaimed as ‘the best book about Tolkien’, this award-winning biography explores J.R.R. Tolkien’s wartime experiences and their impact on his life and his writing of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings . “To be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than in 1939 … by 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.” So J.R.R. Tolkien responded to critics who saw The Lord of the Rings as a reaction to the Second World War. Tolkien and the Great War tells for the first time the full story of how he embarked on the creation of Middle-earth in his youth as the world around him was plunged into catastrophe. This biography reveals the horror and heroism that he experienced as a signals officer in the Battle of the Somme and introduces the circle of friends who spurred his mythology to life. It shows how, after two of these brilliant young men were killed, Tolkien pursued the dream they had all shared by launching his epic of good and evil. John Garth argues that the foundation of tragic experience in the First World War is the key to Middle-earth’s enduring power. Tolkien used his mythic imagination not to escape from reality but to reflect and transform the cataclysm of his generation. While his contemporaries surrendered to disillusionment, he kept enchantment alive, reshaping an entire literary tradition into a form that resonates to this day. This is the first substantially new biography of Tolkien since 1977, meticulously researched and distilled from his personal wartime papers and a multitude of other sources.

Under 1. Verdenskrig i skyttegravene omkring Somme tænkte Tolkien, at krigen skyldtes, at vi ikke ved, hvem vi i er. Krigen bundede i en en kollektiv ubevidsthed om vores identitet. Han tænkte på englænderne! Og han havde tid til at tænke, hjemsendt fra krigen, som han var, vistnok med et såkaldt ”granatchock”. Hvem er vi? Det bliver de første tanker bag hans eventyrlige fortællinger Hobitten og Ringenes herre. Og han fortsætter på sengekanten, når han fortæller godnathistorier for børnene. Det er måske værd at nævne, at næst efter Bibelen og Koranen er Tolkiens værker de overhovedet meste læste. I verden. Udover at forstå Tolkien så at sige forfra dokumenterer historikeren Casper Clemmensen Tolkiens forhold til særlig Jyllands ældste historie. I det nuværende Østjylland finder Tolkien en tabt saga, nærmest en glemt fødselsberetning om Danmark. Den glemte saga fortæller om Jyllands fald under Danernes erobring i jernalderen og beretter om Jydernes vandringer, grundlæggelsen af det Angel-Saksiske England og faktisk om den vestlige civilisations fødsel, 350 år før vikingetidens begyndelse! Bogen beskriver hvorledes Tolkien som professor ved Oxford Universitetet trækker nysgerrighed og interesse til Jylland og Danmark. Tolkien arbejdede ud fra den teori, at Jylland var et rige, der lå i krig med Danerne, der angreb Jylland fra Sjælland og Lejre. Dette medførte ultimativt den Jyske udvandring i år 450 a.d, hvor den Jyske folkestamme grundlagde et nyt Jylland i den Engelske provins Kent. Men der er mange flere aspekter i historikeren Casper Clemmensens pionerarbejde. Blandt andet pointerer han, at vores ustyrlige fascination af maskinernes effektivitet vil blive ødelæggende for vores samspil med naturen og medføre de miljø- og klimaproblematikker vi som moderne samfund står overfor i dag. I øvrigt forstærkes denne destruktive udvikling af en forkastelse af de traditionelle værdier og dyder, som har konstitueret samfundene. Fil størrelse: 371745 KB Indlæst af: Claus Vedel

Experience Middle-earth like never before with over 75 recipes inspired by foods from J.R.R. Tolkien's epic Lord of the Rings.

J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy is not only a seemingly inexhaustible source of wonder and excitement, it is also a profound tale, relevant to our times and to the vital question: what is it to be a human being? Why have these books proved so captivating since their publication, discovered anew by each generation? Is there a deeper aspect to the stories that speaks directly to something within us?Many scholars and commentators have asked these or similar questions, delving into his unique use of language, his deep knowledge of the aesthetics of story within the heritage of mythic storytelling, and his ability to weave together myriad themes. However, few if any have approached the deeper aspects of Tolkien's work with the spiritual esoteric insights of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as their basis. Mark McGivern adopts this approach while also building upon the work of Tolkien scholars such as Verlyn Flieger.This is an illuminating guidebook to the forms and depths of Tolkien's master work.

Tolkien's Lost Chaucer uncovers the story of an unpublished and previously unknown book by the author of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien worked between 1922 and 1928 on his Clarendon edition Selections from Chaucer's Poetry and Prose, and though never completed, its 160 pages of commentary reveals much of his thinking about language and storytelling when he was still at the threshold of his career as an epoch-making writer of fantasy literature. Drawing upon other new materials such as his edition of the Reeve's Tale and his Oxford lectures on the Pardoner's Tale, this book reveals Chaucer as a major influence upon Tolkien's literary imagination.

Dante Alighieri var inte bara en stor diktare på folkspråket italienska utan också en lärd som skrev avhandlingar på latin. En sådan avhandling är De Monarchia, där Dante prövar att utreda hur världens nationer bör regeras för att två för mänskligheten centrala värden ska kunna förverkligas: fred och frihet. Han rekommenderar ett världsomspännande imperium styrt av en kejsare. En komponent i hans utredning gäller hur den världslige härskaren ska förhålla sig till den andlige ledaren, påven. Dante bjuder en skarp vidräkning med kyrkans världsliga maktanspråk. Hans avhandling fördes av inkvisitionen upp på listan över förbjudna böcker, Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Arnold Norlind var en geografidocent och polyhistor i det tidiga 1900-talets Lund. Han hade målsättningen att till svenska översätta allt som Dante skrivit, att åstadkomma ett samlade verk som kund inspirera samtiden till bättre tänkande. Hans översättning av De Monarchia har förblivit uoutgiven i ungefär 100 år. Här publiceras den med dels en fyllig introduktion om den fascinerande översättaren, dels kommentarer till det aktuella verket.
