This is a fascinating critical study of the role of myth and legend in the work of J.R.R. Tolkien. Offering a fresh perspective on works such as The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, and The Children of Húrin, the book offers a profound analysis of the entire legendarium, and explores in detail the interweaving of history and mythology that underpins the British writer's works. The author challenges the notion that Tolkien merely borrows plots and symbols from folklore and reveals the rich historical context of his fictional universe. The Song of Middle-earth demonstrates that J.R.R. Tolkien's desire to "create a new mythology for England," as he wrote in his letters, is not only evident in his works but also successfully embodied in them.
