" With New Line Cinema's production of The Lord of the Rings
film trilogy, the popularity of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien is
unparalleled. Tolkien's books continue to be bestsellers decades
after their original publication. An epic in league with those of
Spenser and Malory, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, begun during
Hitler's rise to power, celebrates the insignificant individual as
hero in the modern world. Jane Chance's critical appraisal of
Tolkien's heroic masterwork is the first to explore its "mythology
of power"--that is, how power, politics, and language interact.
Chance looks beyond the fantastic, self-contained world of
Middle-earth to the twentieth-century parallels presented in the
trilogy.
