Study of Tolkien's work from its philological and mythological roots: it analyzes The Lord of the Rings as a linguistic and cultural map, covers The Hobbit and Farmer Giles of Ham, and addresses The Silmarillion and the late works.

It will interest Tolkien readers and those seeking an analysis of the linguistic and mythological background of Middle-earth.
