Krátky popis
World first publication of the collected poems of J.R.R. Tolkien,
spanning almost seven decades of the author’s life and presented in
an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. J.R.R.Tolkien aspired
to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his
creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art.
Although Tolkien’s readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only
from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is
not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his
larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and
place as well as further the story, as individual works, they
delight with words and rhyme.They express his love of nature and
the seasons, of landscape and music, and of words. They convey his
humour and his sense of wonder. The earliest work in this
collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien
was eighteen.More poems would follow during his years at Oxford,
some of them very elaborate and eccentric. Those he composed during
the First World War, in which he served in France, tend to be
concerned not with trenches and battle, but with life, loss, faith,
and friendship, his longing for England, and the wife he left
behind. Beginning in 1914, elements of his legendarium, ‘The
Silmarillion’, began to appear, and the ‘Matter of Middle-earth’
would inspire much of Tolkien’s verse for the rest of his
life.Within The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien almost 250 works
are presented across three volumes, including more than 70 that
have never before been seen. The poems are deftly woven together
with commentary and notes by world-renowned Tolkien scholars
Christina Scull &,amp, Wayne G.Hammond, placing them in the
context of Tolkien’s life and literary accomplishments and creating
a poetical biography that is a unique and revealing celebration of
J.R.R. Tolkien.
