This group of new critical essays offers multidisciplinary analysis of director Peter Jackson's spectacularly successful adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). Part One of the collection, "Techniques of Structure and Story," compares and contrasts the organizational principles of the books and films. Part Two, "Techniques of Character and Culture," focuses on the methods used to transform the characters and settings of Tolkien's narrative into the personalities and places visualized on screen. Each of the sixteen essays includes extensive notes and a separate bibliography.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“extraordinary...fascinating”―Midwest Book Review; “will be of interest to scholars and fans...a worthwhile study”―Mythlore; “a valuable addition to the critical examination of the relationship between Tolkien’s novel and Jackson’s films...the editors are to be commended for providing a venue for nuanced, interdisciplinary approaches to Jackson’s adaptations”―Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts.

Thought Provoking would be an understatement

Ironically for a teacher, I always thought academic literary critiques were hot air. Not after encountering this book wherein my mind was exponentially expanded to encompass a deeper understanding of the most personally influential book of my lifetime, The Lord of the Rings. Brilliant.
