Product Description

Review

a valuable contribution to study of the OED itself...The Ring of Words successfully reunites the academic and creative aspects of Tolkien. John Garth, TLS


Review


"The connection between his time spent mired in the drudgery of lexicography, his deeply felt and lifelong passion for philology, and the consequent meticulous craftsmanship of his writing, is all impeccably demonstrated in this fascinating assessment of Tolkien's life as one of England's most distinguished wordwrights. Anyone enthralled by the story of the English language will be captivated by this account of an unforgettable man's half-forgotten first achievements."--Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman and The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary
"Tolkien the scholar of language and Tolkien the author of fantasy fiction were inseparable: the authors explore this subject further than has been done before. But it is their extensive notes on the etymology and meaning of individual words used by Tolkien which readers will welcome most. The Ring of Words is an excellent addition to the shelf of best books about Tolkien, warmly recommended."--Wayne G. Hammond, author of J.R.R. Tolkien: A Descriptive Biography and co-author of The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion
