Over the past four decades, source criticism--the analysis of a
writer's source material--has emerged as one of the most popular
approaches in exploring the work of J.R.R. Tolkien. Since Tolkien
drew from a wide range of disparate sources in the construction of
his legendarium--from The Book of Lost Tales to The Hobbit to The
Lord of the Rings, and beyond--an understanding of the sources
Tolkien used, as well as how and why he incorporated them, can
enhance readers' appreciation of his works immeasurably. This
compendium by leading Tolkien scholars describes the theory and
methodology for proper source criticism of Tolkien's works and then
provides practical demonstrations of the approach. Ranging widely
across Tolkien's works, as well as across the periods and genres
from which he took inspiration, the essays provide the most
balanced and comprehensive demonstration of source criticism ever
collected in a single volume.
