Commentary In Favor Of Books The Fall of Arthur

The Fall of Arthur recounts in verse the last campaign of King Arthur, who, even as he stands at the threshold of Mirkwood, is summoned back to Britain by news of the treachery of Mordred. Already weakened in spirit by Guinevere’s infidelity with the now-exiled Lancelot, Arthur must rouse his knights to battle one last time against Mordred’s rebels and foreign mercenaries. Powerful, passionate, and filled with vivid imagery, this unfinished poem reveals Tolkien’s gift for storytelling at its brilliant best.

Christopher Tolkien, editor, contributes three illuminating essays that explore the literary world of King Arthur, reveal the deeper meaning of the verses and the painstaking work his father applied to bring the poem to a finished form, and investigate the intriguing links between The Fall of Arthur and Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

Piece Epithetical Books The Fall of Arthur

Yes, and I'm saying that translation still counts as a "venture", as indeed do Tolkien's scholarly writings on the subject. If they meant "his only

This is an AMAZING work that should change Tolkien and Inklings studies forever! Here are my three pieces on "The Fall of Arthur," all together in one place: http://theoddestinkling.wordpress.com.... There is a pre-review in which I predicted what I thought the book would be like, before reading it. There is a follow-up blog post in which I say how well I did in my predictions (not very well!). And then there's my official review. Enjoy!

Impassioned nuances and provocative profundity pierce you to the core, as you plunge within the Arthurian mythologies and legends! Buried within these three highly illuminating essays, {which explore the literary world of King Arthur}, is the deeper meaning of each individual verse revealed with such sublime clarity. JRR Tolkiens unfinished work is a treasure trove of revelatory, fascinating delights akin to Sir Gwain and the Green Knight -- or even other published masterworks such as the

This was my first time reading one of the books that Christopher Tolkien edited and published. The actual poem makes up only about a quarter of the book. The other 75% walks through the evolution of the Arthurian legend in general and Tolkien's drafts of this poem in particular. Honestly, I skimmed quite a bit. Christopher goes into meticulous detail demonstrating Tolkien's changes and notes and offering his own conjectures on the cause. I realized that I had looked at all of these posthumous

"Thus Arthur in arms eastward journeyed,and war awoke in the wild regions.Halls and temples of the heathen kingshis might assailed marching in conquestfrom the mouths of the Rhine o'er many kingdoms.[...]Foes before them, flames behind them,ever east and onward eager rode they,and folk fled them as the face of God,till earth was empty, and no eyes saw them,and no ears heard them in the endless hills"Like many other authors I've heard of, J.R.R. Tolkien had a lot of projects he never finished -

Not to make you jealous or anything, but I bought this at the Bodleian Library gift shop after going through the Tolkien art exhibit. I had no idea what it was, except that it was recently published, and was touted as the only time he "took on" the Arthurian legend. I am not at all disappointed in this purchase, just as I am not disappointed in the bookmark, bracelet, and print I also purchased . . . but that's another story!The first sixty pages or so are the poem, written in Saxon alliterative
