Defending Middle-Earth - Tolkien: Myth & Modernity

Curry, Patrick

1st edition hardback in very good, clean condition. Internally clean, crisp and unmarked, dj is also very good, lightly sunned on spine with a tiny chip at lower spine edge. 206 pages Patrick Curry's book defies the label of 'escapism' which has been applied to Tolkien's 'Middle-Earth' works and shows instead how they advocate community , ecology and spiritual values. Tolkien wants us to re-engage with nature, seeing it as a magical and sacred environment, and his intention makes us awaken to global realities and widely justified fears for the environment. His imaginary world gives people everywhere hope for this one.
