The Keys of Middle-Earth uniquely
introduces the reader to the world of Medieval Literature through the
fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien. Using key episodes in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, readers are
taken back to the works of Old, Middle English and Old Norse literature
that so influenced Tolkien. The original texts are presented with
helpful new translations to help the reader approach the medieval poems
and tales, and introductory essays draw on recent scholarship and
Tolkien’s own unpublished notes. Presenting a new era of Tolkien
studies, this book will be of use to students (and teachers) of
Medieval/Old English literature and general readers interested in the
origins of Tolkien’s most widely-known works.
