The Life and Work of J. Tolkein.
Many authors become masters of a particular genre of fiction. But very few can claim to
have had such an effect that they virtually have created the genre for themselves. One
such author is J R R Tolkein. From his prolific imagination was created not only Middle
Earth; the stage for his giant fantasy The Lord of the Rings, but also a whole genre of
fantasy fiction which has since become known as "sword and sorcery".
Before Tolkein's work was published, fantasy was set in what was very near to the present
for the authors. Also, the genre was very close to horror, and authors such as Lovell and
Bram Stoker moved easily between the two. The the great American writer Edgar Allen
Poe had recently brought out a work of what we would today call horror stories, but he had
entitled it Tales of Mystery and Imagination, suggesting that he thought of it as fantasy.
Tolkein's distinctive contribution was to create a pseudo-medieval world and to populate it
with wise wizards, bold knights, and a massive cast of other characters, including dwarfs,
elves, and most of the other creatures of our folk memory. He also created his own
contribution, the hobbit. Hobbits were small people, who had distinctive hairy feet. They
were characterised by honest common sense and rather complex social lives. In all his
works, it is evidently the hobbits with whom Tolkein sympathises the most.
What madeTolkein's work so compelling was that it was a perfectly realised work of
fantasy. Every detail in his stories rings true. This is because Tolkein spent so much time
working and thinking about Middle Earth that the actual part which we have on paper is
only a fraction of his research. His later books show clearly to what extent he had created
this entire world, complete with detailed maps and even the languages of the major
protagonists.

However, although Middle Earth is a towering work of fantasy, it has roots in reality. The
Middle Earth of Tolkein is close to his own native Oxfordshire, both in the landscapeof the
Shire, and above all in the reactions and behaviour of its characters. The ethos is that of
pre-war England, possibly because Tolkein could conceive of no other mode of behaviour,
but more probably because his book can be read on many levels, and in only the most
basic of the levels is the great struggle between light and darkness completely.
It must be remembered that Tolkein was writing in a time when one Great War had just
finished, and another was about to begin. In his book, he stresses the bravery, and
endurance of the small people without whom victory is impossible. This was the lesson
that Tolkein felt had to be learned from the horrors of the Great War - the desicions which
shape the destiny of nations are taken by an elite group, but they are implemented by the
common people of the country.
Though his book brought him world-wide fame, Tolkein continued to live modestly at
Oxford University, where he worked. He was a close friend of another great writer of his
day, C.S. Lewis, who also taught there. However, while Lewis was more relaxed about his
fame, Tolkein never really got used to it, and he was quite embarrassed by the admiration
of the many tourists who came to see him.
