Review
"An interesting examination of themes like the value of language and the corrupting effects of a will to power." -- "(Oshawa, Ont.) Artsforum"
"Chance's companion volumes on Tolkien are brilliantly written and critically significant. Her understanding of his works is profound, and she convincingly confirms him as a major writer of the 20th century." -- "Kritikon Litterarum"
"Both provocative and stimulating... provides a rewarding exploration of that web of relationships which defines Middle-earth." -- "Robert A. Collins, Florida Atlantic University"
"The author has taken a complex and convoluted masterpiece and dissected it in a clear and concise style. Fans of Tolkien's classic will welcome it." -- "School Library Journal"
"Presents a strong case for Tolkien as a mainstream contemporary writer." -- "Seven"
