Green Suns and Faërie Essays on Tolkien

In 'Green Suns and Faërie', author Verlyn Flieger, one of world's foremost Tolkien scholars, presents a selection of her best articles - some never before published - on a range of Tolkien topics. Divided into three distinct sections, this study explores Tolkien's ideas of sub-creation, his reconfiguration of the medieval story tradition and his place within the context of the 20th century and 'modernist' literature.
