R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973). \u003c\/b\u003eThe contributors, a distinguished group of his friends, colleagues, and former students, address a wide and diverse range of subjects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first part of the book contains material on Tolkien the man and the scholar. It includes his obituary notices from The Times of London and his valedictory address at Oxford in which he points out, eloquently and purposefully, the artificiality of the split between language and literary study. The second part consists of critical essays representing Tolkien's major scholarly interests—Old Norse, Old English, and Middle English literatures.
