John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973): writer, artist, scholar, linguist. Known to millions around the world as the author of <\/span>The Lord of the Rings<\/span><\/i>, Tolkien spent most of his life teaching at the University of Oxford where he was a distinguished academic in the fields of Old and Middle English and Old Norse. His creativity, confined to his spare time, found its outlet in fantasy works, stories for children, poetry, illustration and invented languages and alphabets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tolkien\u2019s most popular works, <\/span>The Hobbit<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>The Lord of the Rings<\/span><\/i> are set in Middle-earth, an imagined world with strangely familiar settings inhabited by ancient and extraordinary peoples.

Tolkien\u2019s interest in languages, sparked by the Welsh names he saw on passing coal-trucks, developed from early childhood and he began to create his own languages while still at school. The result was the development of two complex Elvish languages, one influenced by Welsh (Sindarin) and one by Finnish (Quenya). Working on these throughout his life, he gave each its own distinct sounds, grammatical structure and vocabulary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tolkien lived in an era when letter-writing was the main form of communication. His thoughtful and carefully crafted letters provide rich insights into a wide range of topics: scholarly, personal and authorial. He never wrote an autobiography and his letters now provide the most direct means of discovering his personal opinions as well as his hopes and fears throughout a long and productive life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, in 1892 to English parents. He came to England aged three and was brought up in and around Birmingham. An early interest in languages led him to pursue an academic career teaching Old and Middle English. Alongside his professional work, he invented his own languages and began to create what he called a mythology for England; it was this \u2018legendarium\u2019 that he would work on throughout his life. But his literary work did not start and end with Middle-earth, he also wrote poetry, children\u2019s stories and fairy tales for adults. He died in 1973 and is buried in Oxford where he spent most of his adult life.<\/span><\/p>\n
