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. Review: Good service. Recommend - Stunning book. Full of great information. Arrived on time. Review: A little gem! - Superb Book! Much better looking in the flesh so to speak. Interesting and informative read for the fan of middle-earth.

An excellent book that connects the influences on JRR Tolkien that helped create middle earth. The book cover is more impressive than the picture looks.
