John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, was born on January 3, 1892 and died
on September 2, 1973. He was the author of The Hobbit and its sequel
The Lord of the Rings, for which he is primarily known.In academia,
J. R. R. Tolkien worked as Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University
of Oxford from 1925 to 1945, and as Professor of English Language
and Literature, also at Oxford, from 1945 to 1959. He was an eminently
distinguished lexicographer and an expert in Anglo-Saxon and Old
Norse. He belonged to the literary discussion group the Inklings,
and had a close friendship with C. S. Lewis.Tolkien's published
fiction further includes a number of posthumous books about the
history of the imaginary world of Middle-earth, where the Hobbit
and the Lord of the Rings take place. The enduring popularity and
influence of these works have established Tolkien's reputation as
the father of the modern high fantasy genre. Tolkien's other published
fiction includes book adaptions of stories originally told to his
children, not related to Middle-earth. |
