Publications Further information: J. R. R. Tolkien bibliography "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics" Main article: Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics In addition to writing fiction, Tolkien was an author of academic literary criticism. His seminal lecture, later published as an article, revolutionized the treatment of the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf by literary critics. The essay remains highly influential in the study of Old English literature to this day. Beowulf is one of the most significant influences upon Tolkien's later fiction, with major details of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings being adapted from the poem. "On Fairy-Stories" Main article: On Fairy-Stories This essay discusses the fairy-story as a literary. It was initiy written as the Andrew Lang Lecture at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. Tolkien focuses on Andrew Lang's work as a folklorist and collector of fairy tales. He disagreed with Lang's broad inclusion, in his Fairy Book collections, of traveller's tales, beast fables, and other types of stories. Tolkien held a narrower perspective, viewing fairy stories as those that took place in Faerie, an enchanted realm, with or without fairies as characters. He viewed them as the natural development of the interaction of imagination and language. Children's books and other short works In addition to his mythopoeic compositions, Tolkien enjoyed inventing fantasy stories to entertain his children. He wrote annual Christmas letters from Father Christmas for them, building up a series of short stories (later compiled and published as The Father Christmas Letters). Other works included Mr. Bliss and Roverandom (for children), and Leaf by Niggle (part of Tree and Leaf), The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham. Roverandom and Smith of Wootton Major, like The Hobbit, borrowed ideas from his legendarium. The Hobbit Main article: The Hobbit Tolkien expected his stories to become popular, but by sheer accident a book ced The Hobbit, which he had written some years before for his own children, came in to the attention of Susan Dagn, an employee of the London publishing firm George en & Unwin, who persuaded Tolkien to submit it for publication. When it was published a year later, the book attracted adult readers as well as children, and it became popular enough for the publishers to ask Tolkien to produce a sequel. The Lord of the Rings Main article: The Lord of the Rings The for a sequel prompted Tolkien to begin what became his most famous work: the epic novel The Lord of the Rings (originy published in three volumes in). Tolkien spent more than ten years writing the primary narrative and appendices for The Lord of the Rings, during which time he received the constant support of the Inklings, in particular his closest C. S. Lewis, the author of The Chronicles of Narnia. Both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set against the background of The Silmarillion, but in a time long after it. Tolkien at first intended The Lord of the Rings to be a children's tale in the style of The Hobbit, but it quickly grew darker and more in the writing.] Though a direct sequel to The Hobbit, it addressed an older audience, drawing on the immense backstory of Beleriand that Tolkien had constructed in previous years, and which eventuy saw posthumous publication in The Silmarillion and other volumes. Tolkien strongly influenced the fantasy genre that grew up after the book's. The Lord of the Rings became immensely popular in thes and has remained so ever since, ranking as one of the most popular works of fiction of the th century, judged by both and reader surveys. In the "Big Read" survey conducted by the BBC, The Lord of the Rings was found to be the UK's "Best-loved Novel". Australians voted The Lord of the Rings "My Favourite Book" in a survey conducted by the Australian ABC. In a poll of Amazon.com customers, The Lord of the Rings was judged to be their favourite "book of the millennium". In Tolkien was voted thend "greatest Briton" in a poll conducted by the BBC, and in he was voted th in the SABC's South Africans, the person to appear in both lists. His popularity is not to the English-speaking world: in a poll inspired by the UK's "Big Read" survey, about , Germans found The Lord of the Rings to be their favourite work of literature. The Silmarillion Tolkien wrote a brief "Sketch of the Mythology", which included the tales of Beren and Lúthien and of Túrin; and that sketch eventuy evolved into the Quenta Silmarillion, an epic history that Tolkien started three times but published. Tolkien desperately hoped to publish it along with The Lord of the Rings, but publishers (both en & Unwin and Collins) declined. Moreover, printing were very high ins Britain, requiring The Lord of the Rings to be published in three volumes. The story of this continuous redrafting is told in the posthumous series The History of Middle-earth, edited by Tolkien's son, Christopher Tolkien. From around, Tolkien began to extend this framework to include the tale of The F of Númenor, which was inspired by the legend of Atlantis. Tolkien appointed his son Christopher to be his literary executor, and he (with assistance from Guy Gavriel Kay, later a well-known fantasy author in his own right) organized some of this material into a single coherent volume, published as The Silmarillion in. It received the Locus Award for Best Fantasy novel in. Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth In, Christopher Tolkien published a collection of more fragmentary material, under the title Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth. In subsequent years ), he published a large amount of the remaining unpublished materials, together with notes and extensive commentary, in a series of twelve volumes ced The History of Middle-earth. They contain unfinished, abandoned, alternative, and outright contradictory , since they were always a work in progress for Tolkien and he rarely settled on a definitive version for any of the stories. There is not complete consistency between The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the two most closely related works, because Tolkien fully integrated their traditions into each other. He commented in, while editing The Hobbit for a third edition, that he would have preferred to rewrite the book completely because of the style of its prose. Manuscript locations Before his death, Tolkien negotiated the of the manuscripts, drafts, proofs and other materials related to his then-published works—including The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Farmer Giles of Ham—to the Department of Special Collections and University Archives at Marquette University's John P. Raynor, S.J., Library in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.] After his death his estate donated the papers containing Tolkien's Silmarillion mythology and his academic work to the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. The Bodleian Library held an exhibition of his work in , including more than items which had been seen in public before. In, a partial draft of Language and Nature, which Tolkien had begun co-writing with C. S. Lewis but had completed, was discovered at the Bodleian Library. Languages and philology Linguistic career Both Tolkien's academic career and his literary production are inseparable from his love of language and philology. He specialized in English philology at university and in graduated with Old Norse as his special subject. He worked on the Oxford English Dictionary from and is credited with having worked on a number of words starting with the letter W, including walrus, over which he struggled mightily. In, he became Reader in English Language at the University of Leeds, where he claimed for raising the number of students of linguistics from five to twenty. He gave courses in Old English heroic verse, history of English, various Old English and Middle English texts, Old and Middle English philology, introductory Germanic philology, Gothic, Old Icelandic, and Medieval Welsh. When in, aged thirty-three, Tolkien applied for the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professorship of Anglo-Saxon at Pembroke College, Oxford, he boasted that his students of Germanic philology in Leeds had even formed a "Viking Club".[T ] He also had a certain, if imperfect, knowledge of Finnish. Privately, Tolkien was attracted to "things of racial and linguistic significance", and in his lecture English and Welsh, which is crucial to his understanding of race and language, he entertained notions of "inherent linguistic predilections", which he termed the "native language" as opposed to the "cradle-tongue" which a person first learns to speak. He considered the West Midlands dialect of Middle English to be his own "native language", and, as he wrote to W. H. Auden in, "I am a West-midlander by blood (and took to early west-midland Middle English as a known tongue as as I set eyes on it)."[T ] Language construction See also: Languages constructed by J. R. R. Tolkien Ah! like f the leaves in the wind, long years numberless as the wings of trees!, the beginning of the Quenya poem Namárië written in Tengwar and in Latin script Parel to Tolkien's professional work as a philologist, and sometimes overshadowing this work, to the effect that his academic output remained rather thin, was his affection for constructing languages. The most developed of these are Quenya and Sindarin, the etymological connection between which formed the core of much of Tolkien's legendarium. Language and grammar for Tolkien was a matter of aesthetics and euphony, and Quenya in particular was designed from "phonaesthetic" considerations; it was intended as an "Elven-latin", and was phonologicy based on Latin, with ingredients from Finnish, Welsh, English, and Greek.[T ] Tolkien considered languages inseparable from the mythology associated with them, and he consequently took a dim view of auxiliary languages: in a congress of Esperantists were told as much by him, in his lecture A Secret Vice, "Your language construction will breed a mythology", but by he had concluded that "Volapük, Esperanto, Ido, Novial, &c, &c, are dead, far deader than ancient unused languages, because their authors invented any Esperanto legends".[T ] The popularity of Tolkien's books has had a sm but lasting effect on the use of language in fantasy literature in particular, and even on mainstream dictionaries, which commonly accept Tolkien's idiosyncratic spellings dwarves and dwarvish (alongside dwarfs and dwarfish), which had been little used since the midth century and earlier. (In fact, according to Tolkien, had the Old English plural survived, it would have been dwarrows or dwerrows.) He coined the term eucatastrophe, used mainly in connection with his own work. Artwork Main article: Tolkien's artwork Tolkien learnt to paint and draw as a child, and continued to do so his adult . From early in his writing career, the development of his stories was accompanied by drawings and paintings, especiy of landscapes, and by maps of the lands in which the tales were set. He also produced pictures to accompany the stories told to his own children, including those later published in Mr Bliss and Roverandom, and sent them elaborately illustrated letters purporting to come from Father Christmas. Although he regarded himself as an amateur, the publisher used the author's own cover art, his maps, and full-page illustrations for the early editions of The Hobbit. He prepared maps and illustrations for The Lord of the Rings, but the first edition contained the maps, his cigraphy for the inscription on the One Ring, and his ink drawing of the Doors of Durin. Much of his artwork was collected and published in as a book: J. R. R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator. The book discusses Tolkien's paintings, drawings, and sketches, and reproduces approximately examples of his work.] Catherine McIlwaine curated a major exhibition of Tolkien's artwork at the Bodleian Library, Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth, accompanied by a book of the same that analyses Tolkien's achievement and illustrates the full range of the types of artwork that he created. Legacy Influence Further information: Works inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien, the of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings led directly to a popular resurgence and the shaping of the modern fantasy genre. This has caused Tolkien to be popularly identified as the "father" of modern fantasy literature—or, more precisely, of high fantasy, as in the work of authors such as Ursula Le Guin and her Earthsea series. In , The Times ranked him sixth on a list of "The greatest British writers since". His influence has extended to music, including the Danish group the Tolkien Ensemble's setting of the poetry in The Lord of the Rings to their vocal music; and to a broad range of games set in Middle-earth. Adaptations Further information: Middle-earth in film In a letter to publisher Milton Waldman ), Tolkien wrote about his intentions to create a "body of more or less connected legend", of which "[t]he cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama".[T ] The hands and minds of many artists have indeed been inspired by Tolkien's legends. Persony known to him were Pauline Baynes (Tolkien's favourite illustrator of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Farmer Giles of Ham) and Donald Swann (who set the music to The Road Goes Ever On). Queen Margrethe II of Denmark created illustrations to The Lord of the Rings in the earlys. She sent them to Tolkien, who was struck by the similarity they bore in style to his own drawings. Tolkien was not implacably opposed to the idea of a dramatic adaptation, however, and sold the film, stage and merchandise rights of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to United Artists in. United Artists never made a film, although director John Boorman was planning a live- film in the earlys. In, the rights were sold to Tolkien Enterprises, a division of the Saul Zaentz Company, and the first film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings was released in as an animated rotoscoping film directed by Ralph Bakshi with screenplay by the fantasy writer Peter S. Beagle. It covered the first half of the story of The Lord of the Rings.] In, an animated musical television film of The Hobbit was made by Rankin-Bass, and in, they produced the animated musical television film The Return of the King, which covered some of the portions of The Lord of the Rings that Bakshi was unable to complete. From to , Line Cinema released The Lord of the Rings as a trilogy of live- films that were filmed in Zealand and directed by Peter Jackson. The series was successful, performing extremely well commerciy and numerous Oscars. From to , Warner Bros. and Line Cinema released The Hobbit, a series of three films based on The Hobbit, with Peter Jackson serving as executive producer, director, and co-writer. The first instalment, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, was released in December ; the second, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, in December ; and the last instalment, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, in December . In , Amazon acquired the global television rights to The Lord of the Rings, for a series of stories set before The Fellowship of the Ring. Memorials Main article: List of things named after J. R. R. Tolkien and his works Tolkien and the characters and places from his works have become eponyms of many real-world objects. These include geographical features on Titan (Saturn's largest moon), street names such as There and Back Again Lane, inspired by The Hobbit, mountains such as Mount Shadowfax, Mount Gandalf and Mount Aragorn in Canada,] companies such as Palantir Technologies, and species including the wasp Shireplitis tolkieni, species of Elachista moths, and many fossils. Since , The Tolkien Society has organized Tolkien Reading Day, which takes place on March in schools around the world. In , Pembroke College, Oxford University, established an annual lecture on fantasy literature in Tolkien's honour. In , Tolkien was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a version of his most famous artwork—the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover—to celebrate the British cultural figures of his that he most admired.]] A biographical film, Tolkien, focused on Tolkien's early and war experiences.] The Tolkien family and estate stated that they did not "approve of, authorise or participate in the making of" the film.] Sarehole Mill's blue plaque Several blue plaques in England commemorate places associated with Tolkien, including for his childhood, his workplaces, and places he visited Stаnlеy Mаrtіn Lіеbеr wаs bоrn оn Dесеmbеr , , іn Mаnhаttаn, Nеw Yоrк сіty, іn thе аpаrtmеnt оf hіs Rоmаnіаn-bоrn Jеwіsh іmmіgrаnt pаrеnts, сеlіа (néе Sоlоmоn) аnd Jаск Lіеbеr, аt thе соrnеr оf Wеst th Strееt аnd Wеst еnd аvеnuе.
