The King Under the Mountain
D. J. Taylor
Since his death in 1973, J.R.R. Tolkien's major works - 'The Hobbit', 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Silmarillion' - have sold over half a billion copies, been made into prodigiously successful films and had an incalculable influence on the generations of fantasy writers who followed in their wake. But Tolkien himself remains an enigma - a deeply conservative Oxford don and a diehard Roman Catholic who regarded biography as a waste of time, was suspicious of literary criticism and jealously guarded his private life from an intrusive media. Few major literary figures of the twentieth century are shrouded in such mystery. 'The King Under the Mountain' unravels Tolkien's life and work: part biography, part critical study and part a fan's notes on the deepest recesses of Tolkien's imaginative world.
