Description
1. INTRODUCTION The Lord of the Rings, an epic fantasy fiction, was written by J. R. R. Tolkien, professor of philology and Anglo-Saxon language of Oxford University. The story takes place in an imaginary time and place, i.e. the Third Age of Middle-earth. The lands of Middle-earth are populated by Men and other humanoid races, as well as many fantastical creatures. Starting from quiet beginnings in the Shire, the trilogy ranges across Middle-earth and follows the course of the War of the Ring through the eyes of its characters, most notably the central protagonist Frodo Baggins. As a great linguist and writer, Tolkien created various languages for his fantastical creatures through which he showed the readers a marvelous world and successfully embedded the immense historical background. Since its publication, The Lord of the Rings has been reprinted numerous times and translated into more than 40 languages, exerting a great influence on modern fantasy literature.
