| The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun |
| May 06, 2009 - 6:19 PM - by Elwen |
|
A hitherto unknown work by JJR Tolkien has just been published by Christopher Tolkien. The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun contains two long narrative poems in the style of the Edda (Icelandic sagas), a lecture by Tolkien and an introduction and extensive notes by Christopher Tolkien. The work is not set in Middle Earth, and it is a highly academic exercise, but it illustrates just how deeply Tolkien immersed himself in the world of medieval sagas which also inspired Middle Earth. Guardian review (includes parts of a Christopher Tolkien interview). Washington Post review. |
