Editorial Reviews
Review
“[t]he first sustained to demonstrate the importance of the HOME series for the study of Tolkien's work....[p]rovides a varied though traditional selection of potential approaches to the newly available material of the HOME series. As such, it is a good start and establishes a bridgehead on the new continent that has appeared out of the Tolkien-archives. It also makes clear that much work remains to be done-be this in the area of traditional scholary research, or in the implementation of more recent critical approaches, such as the 'death of the author' or the 'unstable text'....[a] step into the right direction and it is to be hoped that the dialogue wil continue.”–Fleisch La chair Flesh
“This excellent study is aimed at the middle level of Tolkien scholarship....[A]nd should make an excellent addition to the college library.”–Beyond Bree
“[T]hese analyses are refreshingly free of turgid prose or theoretical bias. The author's obvious appreciation for their subjects of study does not preclude either ritical acuity or scholarly rigor....[T]his is a well-produced book on acid-free paper--both its physical package and its intellectual content are designed to last.”–
