The nine contributions to Reconsidering Tolkien approach Tolkien's
work from a variety of theoretical viewpoints. Marion Gymnich,
Eduardo Segura and Guillermo Peris discuss the importance of
Language and languages for Tolkien's narrative work, while Thomas
Honegger and Paul E. Kerry focus on the historical sources and the
historicising framework respectively. The essays by Natasa Tucev
and Jean-Christophe Dufau investigate the archetypal and mythic
dimensions. Dirk Vanderbeke, then, takes a critical look at
Tolkien's presentation of knowledge, and Martin Simonson discusses
the influence of World War I and Tolkien's relationship with
writers of 'high modernism'. Connie Veugen, finally, examines the
adaptation of the figure of Aragorn in different media. The
majority of the essays of this volume was presented at the ESSE
(European Society for the Study of English) 7 session on
'Reconsidering Tolkien' held at Zaragoza in September 2004. The
remaining contributions resulted from an additional call for papers
and were selected for inclusion by the board of editors.
