The First and Second Ages: Peter Roe Series III: 3

The First and Second Ages within Tolkiens legendarium feel like a time far removed from that of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings even though they constitute the underpinnings of J.R.R. Tolkiens entire mythology. This book explores those underpinnings and in particular the nature of good and evil creators and destroyers and the very foundations of the world itself. It is a diverse collection of four articles which will no doubt cause the reader to reflect on their own understanding of Tolkiens works. First published in 1992 this book is published under the auspices of the Tolkien Societys Peter Roe Memorial Fund and features a collection of four papers delivered at the David Baxter Centre in Milton Keynes on the 2nd June 1990.
