- W640530225 abstract "Fantasy Fiction has always found ways to manifest itself in Literature and Art. From Ancient mythological narratives, through fairy-tales, marking its presence in drama and poetry, it eventually reaches the presently most celebrated among literary genres – the novel. Fantasy Fiction occupies a very special place in what Carl Jung calls our collective unconscious. This monograph aims at revealing some relevant aspects of one of the most celebrated Fantasy authors – J. R. R. Tolkien. My aim is to analyse some the aspects of The Lord of the Rings that have made Tolkien such a beloved and well read writer, from the very beginning of his literary career. This analysis centres on the mythological aspects of Tolkien’s work, which seem to be the ‘hook’ that has caught most of his readers. The twentieth century witnesses a huge claim for Fantasy in the arts and media vehicles. This can be seen as a way to escape from a fragmented world made worse by two World Wars that brought desolation and lack of faith in spiritual values to the modern and contemporary society. Rather than addressing Tolkien’s fiction as an escapist device, I argue that it can be read as a strong metaphor of his own time instead, alluding to the horrors of the wars that have been experienced by the author. To reach my goals, I make use of the Theories of the Imaginary as understood by Carl Gustav Jung, Gaston Bachelard, Northrop Frye and Castor Bartolome Ruiz. I also rely on the studies proposed by Comparative Mythology, as represented here by Mircea Eliade and Joseph Campbell. At the end of this monograph, I expect I can provide some answers that explain the huge literary success Tolkien has achieved among his readers. Key-words: 1 J. R. R. Tolkien; 2 The Lord of the Rings; 3 Studies of the Imaginary; 4 Literary Criticism" @default.
