Tolkien's Modern Middle Ages, Paperback by Chance, Jane (EDT); Siewers, Alfred Kentigern (EDT), ISBN 0230616798, ISBN-13 9780230616790, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK . Tolkien delved into the Middle Ages to create a critique of the modern world in his fantasy, yet did so in a form of modernist literature with postmodern implications and huge commercial success. These essays examine that paradox and its significance in understanding the intersection between traditionalist and counter-culture criticisms of the modern. The approach helps to explain the popularity of his works, the way in which they continue to be brought into dialogue with Twenty-First century issues, and their contested literary significance in the academy.
