Very Fine original charcoal cloth, illustrated with b&w plates, in Very Fine DW, protected in Brodart sleeve. Interior of duast jacket is panoramic monochrome photo of Tolkien and fellow students at Exeter College, Oxford, in June 1914, just before . war embroiled their generation. Rear panel jacket art by Tolkien, depicting The Shores of Faerie, May 1915. This is the first substantially new biography of Tolkien since Humphrey Carpenter's Biography of J.R.R. Tolkien was published in 1977. It has. been meticulously researched and distilled from Tolkien's personal wartime papers and a multitude of other sources. Tolkien and the Great War tells the full story of how he embarked on the creation of Middle-Earth in his youth as the world around h. im was plunged into catastrophe. This biography reveals the horror and heroism that he experienced as a signals officer in the Battle of the Somme and introduces the circle of friends who spurred his mythology into life. It shows how, after two of t. hese brilliant young men were killed, Tolkien pursued the dream they had all shared by launching his epic of good and evil. John Garth argues that the foundation of tragic experience in the First World War is the key to Middle-Earth's enduring power. ; that Tolkien used his mythic imagination not to escape from reality but to reflect and transform the cataclysm of his generation; that while his contemporaries surrendured to disillusionment, he kept enchantment alive, reshaping an entire literary. tradition into a form that resonates to this day.. more information
