The new edition of the definitive academic companion to Tolkien’s life and literature

A Companion to J. R. R. Tolkien provides readers with an in-depth examination of the author’s life and works, covering Tolkien’s fiction and mythology, his academic writing, and his continuing impact on contemporary literature and culture. Presenting forty-one essays by a panel of leading scholars, the Companion analyzes prevailing themes found in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, posthumous publications such as The Silmarillion and The Fall of Arthur, lesser-known fiction and poetry, literary essays, and more.

This second edition of the Companion remains the most complete and up-to-date resource of its kind, encompassing new Tolkien publications, original scholarship, The Hobbit film adaptations, and the biographical drama Tolkien. Five entirely new essays discuss the history of fantasy literature, the influence of classical mythology on Tolkien, folklore and fairytales, diversity, and Tolkien fandom. This Companion also:



Explores Tolkien’s impact on art, film, music, gaming, and later generations of fantasy fiction writers
Discusses themes such as mythmaking, medieval languages, nature, war, religion, and the defeat of evil
Presents a detailed overview of Tolkien’s legendarium, including Middle-earth mythology and invented languages and writing systems
Includes a brief chronology of Tolkien’s works and life, further reading suggestions, and end-of-chapter bibliographies

A Companion to J. R. R. Tolkien, Second Edition is essential reading for anyone formally studying or teaching Tolkien in academic settings, and an invaluable resource for general readers with interest in Tolkien’s works or fans of the films wanting to discover more.
