Atlas
of Middle-Earth
by Karen Wynn Fonstad
The publishing world is full of Tolkien spinoff products, some trivial
and ephemeral--but some, like this thoroughly researched atlas, are genuinely
classy. Karen Wynn Fonstad is a qualified geographer and cartographer who
first mapped Middle-Earth in 1981 and has since added much new detail based
on those endless volumes of drafts, abandoned passages, alternative versions,
and laundry lists published since Tolkien's death. She fills in gaps and
details in the familiar Third Age maps from The Hobbit and The Lord of
the Rings, goes back in time to map Middle-Earth's First and Second Ages,
and reconstructs the route and timescale of every important journey in
the stories. There are local maps of key places like the Mines of Moria,
Lothlorien, Isengard, Minas Tirth, the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and the volcanic
Mount Doom. War maps cover the saga's notable battles, up to the hopeless
last stand at Mordor gate and the tiny later skirmish known in Shire records
as the Battle of Bywater. Thematic maps show Middle-Earth's distribution
of climate, geological features, vegetation, people, and (most importantly
to Tolkien) languages.... It's all done tremendously seriously and would
make a fine gift for enthusiastic Tolkien fans, except that they'll have
bought it already. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk

Tolkien's
Art : A Mythology for England
by Jane Chance
J.R.R. Tolkien’s zeal for medieval literary, religious, and cultural
ideas deeply influenced his entire life and provided the seeds for his
own fiction. In Tolkien’s Art, Chance discusses not only such classics
as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, but focuses
on his minor works as well, outlining in detail the sources and influences–from
pagan epic to Christian legend-that formed the foundation of Tolkien’s
masterpieces... Amazon.com

| Editor's Note: When first
I heard of the movie and all the hype associated with it I was less than
impressed, and did not believe that any filmmaker could do justice
to Tolkien's masterpiece. I assumed that the film would do just as well
at the box office as any other big budget flick with a massive advertising
campaign and myriad special effects. In short, I was an unbeliever. That
changed about 30 minutes into the epic, and I am now of the opinion that
this extraordinary tour de force will join the ranks of the great classics
of the cinema. Db, August 2002 |
