At the 2013 "Celebrating The Hobbit" conference at Valparaiso
University - marking the 75th anniversary of the book's publication
and the first installment of Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies - two
plenary papers were presented: "Anchoring the Myth: The Impact of
The Hobbit on Tolkien's Legendarium" by John D. Rateliff provided
numerous examples of The Hobbit's influence on Tolkien's
legendarium; and "Tolkien's French connections" by Verlyn Flieger
discussed French influences on the development of Bilbo Baggins and
his adventures. In discussions with the plenary speakers and other
presenters, it became apparent that a book focusing on how The
Hobbit influenced the subsequent development of Tolkien's
legendarium; was sorely needed. This collection of essays fills
that need. With Rateliff's and Flieger's papers included, the book
presents two chapters on the Evolution of the Dwarven Race, two
chapters on Durin's Day examining the Dwarven lunar calendar, and
11 chapters on themes exploring various topics on influences and
revisions between The Hobbit and Tolkien's legendarium.
