Tolkien was undoubtedly one of the most accomplished philologists of this century, yet it is perhaps for his fantastic mythological and legendary stories that he is best remembered. The papers in this collection mark the centenary of the birth of this remarkable and imaginative storyteller whose work was steeped in medieval literature, religion and culture. The papers themselves range widely. They place Tolkien within the broader contexts of children's writers and the folk-fairy convention, and discuss such classics as The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The sources and influences of his 'mythology for England' are also discussed.
