The reader of Raymond Edwards’ 2014 biography of J. R. R. Tolkien will indeed find an extensive examination of the author’s ‘academic interests,’ for the strength of this work is in its author’s sympathy with two of the major influences in Tolkien’s life: philology and Catholicism. The dust jacket says that Edwards “followed the Oxford undergraduate course originally devised by Tolkien,” which would have required mastery of Old English and Middle English philology as well as Anglo-Saxon and…

After making The Lord of the Rings trilogy Peter Jackson earned quite a bit of money. Since he had the money, permission and the actors he decided to make the Hobbit trilogy. When Peter Jackson made The Lord of the Rings trilogy he wasn’t…

Therefore, an author will use various narrative strategies to promote reader engagement, and this is something that J. R. R. Tolkien does extremely well. The Hobbit has received wide critical acclaim and has become one of the most famous novels of our time, due in part to the reader engagement it produces. In The Hobbit, the narrative strategies such as the use of a…
