Tolkien And The Great War : The Threshold Of Middle-earth

Attribution
John Garth
Publication Details
Book, Houghton Mifflin, 2003
Description
– Daily Mail “Insight into how a writer turned academia into art, how deeply friendship supports and wounds us, and how the death and disillusionment that characterized World War I inspired Tolkien’s lush saga.” 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.

Romances Of The Archive In Contemporary British Fiction

Attribution
Suzanne Keen
Publication Details
Book, University of Toronto Press, 2001
Description
Romances of the Archive in Contemporary British Fiction is a lively discussion of the debates about the uses of the past contained in British fiction since the Falklands crisis. Drawing on a diverse and original body of work, Suzanne Keen provides a detailed examination of the range of contemporary ‘romances of the archive,’ a genre in which British novelists both deal with the loss of Empire and a nostalgia for the past, and react to the postimperial condition of Great Britain.
