The work of J.R.R. Tolkien has had a profound effect on
contemporary fiction and film making, yet criticism often places
him at the margins of twentieth- and twenty-first century thought
and experience. He actually sits near the centre of the last
century's intellectual landscape: his fiction created a new market
for the "fantasy trilogy," his academic work represents what
philology can still accomplish in academe and beyond, and his
Catholic faith retains great meaning for millions of persons
worldwide. Imaginative literature continues to grow even as
publishers cut back on creative fiction: recently it has moved
energetically into film, gaming, and, and online fan fiction, but
in the twentieth century it bridged the gap between "leaned" and
"popular" spheres of interest and readerships. Tolkien's living
landscape continues to please, instruct, and inspire, drawing new
generations of audiences to Middle-earth for the pleasure of
adventure and to grapple with the upheavals of his time and their
aftermath.
