A collection of essays by ten international experts on J. R. R. Tolkien’s
Legendarium, focussed on Light and Shadow. Such leading threads of his literary production are here taken as universal themes to be interpreted in several different senses – ethical, philosophical, psychological, spiritual, historical and biographical – with further insights into their numberless nuances.
The Professor’s main works (above all,
The Hobbit,
The Lord of the Rings and
The Silmarillion) are explored in their multifacete aspects, in connection with his life’s events and bearing in mind his own opinion on them, through his
Letters and his essay
On Fairy Stories.
Thanks to these sharp and compelling reflections, a wide range of viewpoints on his entire
opus emerges, confirming its utmost relevance to the history of Literature, and offering some indeed new intuitions on the spirit of his creations.
