The Making of Middle-Earth - Reprint

5r Christopher Snyder. Modern Reprint.

Notes

Christopher Snyder’s The Making of Middle-earth is a richly detailed exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s life, inspirations, and creative process behind The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Snyder weaves together Tolkien’s academic background in philology and medieval literature with his personal experiences, such as his love of languages, mythology, and his time in World War I, to show how these shaped Middle-earth’s cultures, histories, and stories. The book also examines the impact of Tolkien’s works on modern fantasy and popular culture, offering readers both a scholarly yet accessible guide to understanding the depth and enduring magic of Tolkien’s legendary world.
