The Ring of Words by Peter Gilliver,Jeremy Marshall,Edmund Weiner Pdf
Tolkien's first job, on returning home from World War I, was as an assistant on the staff of the Oxford English Dictionary. He later said that he had "learned more in those two years than in any other equal part of his life." The Ring of Words reveals how his professional work on the OED influenced Tolkien's creative use of language in his fictional world. Here three senior editors of the OED offer an intriguing exploration of Tolkien's career as a lexicographer and illuminate his creativity as a word user and word creator. The centerpiece of the book is a wonderful collection of "word studies" which will delight the heart of Ring fans and word lovers everywhere. The editors look at the origin of such Tolkienesque words as "hobbit," "mithril, "Smeagol," "Ent," "halfling," and "worm" (meaning "dragon"). Readers discover that a word such as "mathom" (anything a hobbit had no immediate use for, but was unwilling to throw away) was actually common in Old English, but that "mithril," on the other hand, is a complete invention (and the first "Elven" word to have an entry in the OED). And fans of Harry Potter will be surprised to find that "Dumbledore" (the name of Hogwart's headmaster) was a word used by Tolkien and many others (it is a dialect word meaning "bumblebee"). Few novelists have found so much of their creative inspiration in the shapes and histories of words. Presenting archival material not found anywhere else, The Ring of Words offers a fresh and unexplored angle on the literary achievements of one of the world's most famous and best-loved writers.

J. R. R. Tolkien's obscure languages dictionary by lingoXpress Pdf
Greetings, fellow adventurer! Welcome to a hidden corner of Middle-earth, where languages whisper of ancient lore and forgotten times. This humble tome shall be your guide to three of the world's most fascinating and veiled tongues: Noldorin, Rohirric, and the Black Speech. Within these pages, you'll find a treasure trove of words, each carrying the weight of J.R.R. Tolkien's meticulous imagination. From the silver grace of Noldorin, the tongue of the Firstborn, to the hearty strength of Rohirric, spoken by the proud Riders of the Mark, each word offers a glimpse into the cultures and peoples that brought them forth. But delve deeper, brave soul, and you will encounter the chilling power of the Black Speech, a language forged for darkness and dominion. Its harsh syllables echo with the shadows of Mordor, and its very essence sends shivers down the spine.

Tolkien's Lost Chaucer by John M. Bowers Pdf
Tolkien's Lost Chaucer uncovers the story of an unpublished and previously unknown book by the author of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien worked between 1922 and 1928 on his Clarendon edition Selections from Chaucer's Poetry and Prose, and though never completed, its 160 pages of commentary reveals much of his thinking about language and storytelling when he was still at the threshold of his career as an epoch-making writer of fantasy literature. Drawing upon other new materials such as his edition of the Reeve's Tale and his Oxford lectures on the Pardoner's Tale, this book reveals Chaucer as a major influence upon Tolkien's literary imagination.
