J.R.R. Tolkien's double worlds and creative process: language and life
Zettersten, Arne
A close colleague of Tolkein for many years, Zettersten offers here a personally informed analysis of his fiction. In light of his unusual life experience and enthusiasm for the study of languages, Zettersten finds in Tolkein's fiction the same animating passions that drove that great author as a youth, a soldier, a linguist, and an Oxford Don. ARNE ZETTERSTEN Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
