The Lord of the Rings – The Making of Middle-Earth: The Worlds of Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings Hardcover Book

The Lord of the Rings – The Making of Middle-Earth: The Worlds of Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings Hardcover Book

This volume is perhaps the most in-depth exploration ever undertaken of Tolkien’s world. Accessible but authoritative, and fully illustrated, it is now being reissued with a stunning new cover treatment and updated commentary on new books, films, games, and shows.

This book, originally published in 2013 and richly illustrated with photographs and artwork, was the first to connect all the threads of influence on Tolkien that infused his creation of Middle-earth–from the languages, poetry, and mythology of medieval Europe and ancient Greece and Rome to the halls of Oxford and the battlefields of World War I. Snyder examines the impact of these works on our modern culture, from 1960s counterculture to fantasy publishing, gaming, music, and beyond. The reissue has a gorgeous, updated cover design with a custom illustration on foil-stamped faux cloth and additional pages of material covering new developments.
