J.R.R. Tolkiens The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Silmarillion have long been recognized as among the most popular fiction of the twentieth century, and most critical analysis of Tolkien has centered on these novels. Granted access by the Tolkien estate and the Bodleian Library in Oxford to Tolkiens unpublished writings, Verlyn Flieger uses them here to shed new light on his better known works, revealing a new dimension of his fictive vision and giving added depth of meaning to his writing.Tolkiens concern with timepast and present, real and faeriecaptures the wonder and peril of travel into other worlds, other times, other modes of consciousness. Reading his work, we fall wide asleep into a dream more real than ordinary waking experience, and emerge with a new perception of the waking world. Flieger explores Tolkiens use of dream as timetravel in his unfinished stories The Lost Road and The Notion Club Papers as well as in The Lord of the Rings and his shorter fiction and poetry.Analyzing Tolkiens treatment of time and timetravel, Flieger shows that he was not just a mythmaker and writer of escapist fantasy but a man whose relationship to his own century was troubled and critical. He achieved in his fiction a double perspective of time that enabled him to see in the mirror of the past the clouded reflection of the present.
