Dimensions: 8.9in. x 6.0in. x 0.9in.TOLKIENS BOOKSHELF 1 THE SONG OF THE NIBELUNGS - ILLUSTRATED This thirteenth century Germanic epic greatly inspired J. R. R. Tolkien. The story tells of the betrayal of the fair and fearless dragon-slayer Siegfried, and of his beautiful wifes terrible revenge. Scholars have noted the influence of its pre-Christian heroic motifs, based on historic events and people of the 5th and 6th centuries, on Tolkiens writing of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Tolkien was aged five when this sumptuously illustrated translation by Margaret Armour was published in London. Undoubtedly a copy of it would have fallen into his hands during his boyhood. It contains more than seventy illustrations and hand-drawn ornate capital letters by renowned artist W. B. MacDougall, whose pictures illuminate the text with their delicate beauty. All are reproduced in this edition. MacDougall was a friend of famous art nouveau illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, and his own creations echo Beardsleys flowing lines. Armour uses an archaic form of English to preserve the high-flown style of the epic. In places, in The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien too employs this solemn, dignified and majestic form - reminiscent of the language of the King James Bible. In her introduction, Dart-Thornton points out a number of interesting links between this saga and Tolkiens work. Drenched in blood and tragedy, heroism and honour, beauty and nobility, this story gives us a glimpse into the literature that helped form Tolkiens imagination, leading to his most popular work The Lord of the Rings. - See more at: www. tolkiensbookshelf. com This item ships from multiple locations.
