"Jared Lobdell's classic study, here revised and expanded, dispels many misconceptions and assumptions about Tolkien's great work. It is misleading to refer to Lord of the Rings as a trilogy, or as medieval, or as a fantasy. Instead, Dr. Lobdell follows the thread of three important influences: the Edwardian adventure story, the science of comparative languages, and Christian theology."--BOOK JACKET.
