Randel Helms TOLKIEN'S WORLD Critical Analysis & Study 1974 HC/DJ 1st Edition

Description: Tolkien's World, written by Randel Helms, is a 167 page, 6 X 8 1/2 inch hardcover book published by the Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. The copyright date is 1974 and this is a first edition: the copyright page states "First Printing." The book is in very good plus condition in a very good unclipped ($5.95) dustjacket, with blue cloth boards and gilt titles. Synopsis - From the dustjacket: "This new and searching study of J. R. R. Tolkien's works was written before his death. In it, the author breaks new ground, relating Tolkien's scholarly works to his great imaginative creations and presenting the famous lecture on Beowulf as the forerunner of his fiction in its insistence on the worth of heroes and monsters. The book ends with a reading of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, showing Tolkien's wise and witty purpose in writing the poems and their relationship to his own scholarly work and the work of others." Condition Details - The book has a square spine, a very tight binding, and no marks, tears, or writing. The cover has sharp corners with very light edgewear, no soil or stains. The textblock edges are clean. The dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) has light edgewear with four closed tears (1/4 to 1 1/2 inches) , no stains or soil. No unpleasant odors. I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
