J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biographical Sketch
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was
a major scholar of the English language, specializing in Old and Middle
English. Twice Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of
Oxford, he also wrote a number of stories, including most famously The
Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955), which are set in a
pre-historic era in an invented version of the world which he called by the
Middle English name of Middle-earth. This was peopled by Men (and women),
Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Orcs (or Goblins) and of course Hobbits. He has
regularly been condemned by the Eng. Lit. Establishment, with honorable exceptions,
but loved by literally millions of readers worldwide.In the 1960s he
was taken up by many members of the nascent "counter-culture" largely
because ofHis concern with
environmental issues. In 1997 he came top of three British polls, organized respectively
by Channel 4 / Waterstone's, the Folio Society, and SFX, the UK's leading
science fiction media magazine, amongst discerning readers asked to vote
for the greatest book of the 20th century. Please note also that his name
is spelt Tolkien (there is no "Tolkein").
