The Making of Middle-Earth by Christopher Snyder
Making of Middle-Earth is perhaps the most in-depth exploration ever undertaken of Tolkien's world. Accessible but authoritative, and fully illustrated, it is now being reissued with a new cover treatment and updated commentary on new books, films, games, and shows.
Originally published in 2013 and richly illustrated with photographs and artwork, the book was the first to connect all the threads of influence on Tolkien that infused his creation of Middle-earth, from the languages, poetry, and mythology of medieval Europe and ancient Greece and Rome to the halls of Oxford and the battlefields of World War I.
Author, Christopher Snyder, examines the impact of these works on modern culture, from 1960s counterculture to fantasy publishing, gaming, music, and beyond. The reissue has an updated cover design with a custom illustration on foil-stamped faux cloth and additional pages of material covering new developments.
