Tolkien's Lost Chaucer uncovers the story of an unpublished and
previously unknown book by the author of The Lord of the Rings.
Tolkien worked between 1922 and 1928 on his Clarendon edition
Selections from Chaucer's Poetry and Prose, and though never
completed, its 160 pages of commentary reveals much of his thinking
about language and storytelling when he was still at the threshold
of his career as an epoch-making writer of fantasy literature.
Drawing upon other new materials such as his edition of the Reeve's
Tale and his Oxford lectures on the Pardoner's Tale, this book
reveals Chaucer as a major influence upon Tolkien's literary
imagination.
