Example text

We eagerly discussed the latest works about Tolkien, published during the last few years. Carpenter had just reviewed John Garth´s valuable new book on Tolkien and the war years, Tolkien and the Great War (2003). We agreed that outside the family he and I together seemed to know most of what is worth knowing about Tolkien’s personal history and the man himself, but that all new studies of the writer slowly advance research and increase our knowledge of his fantasy work and its background. Carpenter´s edition of Tolkien’s letters is a most important source for the understanding of Tolkien’s imagination throughout his whole life, from a few letters to his fiancé and later wife, Edith Bratt, at the beginning of the First World War in 1914, to a letter to their daughter Priscilla, sent from Bournemouth only four days before his death.

Many of the most stately buildings were libraries or administrative buildings. Church spires and pointed towers stood out elegantly. There were lots of large parks and gardens as a natural surrounding to the rivers Thames and Cherwell, and the romantic Oxford Canal. R. TOLKIEN’S DOUBLE WORLDS Oxford was in a state of tranquillity. It appeared to be undisturbed by the surrounding world, when most people in Europe and the United States were talking about the cold war. East and west were loaded concepts, which had been given specific contents after the Second World War.

These letters therefore function as a sophisticated autobiography by Tolkien, since they cover so many decisive features of his life and contain so many personal statements. There are letters to friends and colleagues, to his wife and children, scholars, and publishers and a good number of letters to quite unknown people writing to ask questions, above all, about The Lord of the Rings. It is surprising how carefully and informatively Tolkien takes on all these questions from interested readers.
