Tolkien And The Modernists by Theresa Freda Nicolay
Essays on the Influence of Modern Literature on the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien
This insightful exploration delves into the intricate connections between J.R.R. Tolkien's works and the broader modernist literary movement. It examines how Tolkien's narratives, often perceived as purely fantastical, engage with modernist themes such as the fragmentation of identity, the complexities of language, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. By juxtaposing Tolkien's mythopoeic storytelling with the experimental techniques of his contemporaries, the analysis reveals a nuanced understanding of how his legendary tales resonate with the cultural and intellectual currents of the early 20th century.
