Focusing on J.R.R. Tolkien's intricate world-building, this analysis delves into the historical and multicultural dimensions of Middle-earth as seen in his major works. It examines narrative forms and their social implications, alongside Tolkien's philosophical views on history and identity. By integrating Marxist literary theory, the book challenges conventional perspectives on race, class, and morality within Tolkien's narratives. Through close readings and theoretical insights, readers gain a fresh understanding of both Tolkien's creations and their relevance to contemporary issues.
