Cover of Risden E.L. Risden: Tolkien's Intellectual Landscape (ePUB)

The work of J.R.R. Tolkien has had a profound effect on contemporary fiction and filmmaking. Often disparaged by critics, Tolkien’s fiction created a market for the "fantasy trilogy" and his academic work represents an innovative contribution to the field of philology. In the 20th century, his fiction bridged the gap between "learned" and "popular" readerships. Today the fantasy genre continues to grow–even as publishers cut back on creative fiction–moving energetically into film, gaming and online fan fiction. This book describes how Tolkien’s imaginative landscape continues to entertain and inspire, drawing new generations to Middle-earth.
