J. R. R. Tolkien

Opis

First ever critical study of Tolkiens little-known essay, which reveals how language invention shaped the creation of Middle-earth and beyond. J.R.R. Tolkiens linguistic invention was a fundamental part of his artistic output. As Tolkien puts it in A Secret Vice, the making of language and mythology are related functions.
