Jared Lobdell examines Tolkien's methods and his
worldview by following the thread of three influences:
1. the Edwardian adventure story; 2. the science of
philology, or comparative languages; and 3. Roman
Catholic theology. The "Edwardian mode" of adventure
story (King Solomon's Mines, The Lost World) is one in
which a small group of Englishmen make an expedition to
foreign parts and find supernatural terrors awaiting
them, finally returning home, mission accomplished. The
architecture and narrative style of these adventure
stories is followed completely in The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's towering erudition in
ancient Germanic and Celtic languages helps to explain
his successful use of a mixture of period styles in his
story-telling, as well as his amazing facility coining
memorable names. Although Tolkien's stories betray a
strong Christian conception of virtue and suffering, his
Catholic background raises difficult problems for
understanding the tales, with their heroes who are
basically irreligious. Are these stories before the Fall
of Man, or is there some other explaination for the
absense of Christ? Lobdell pursues many subtle clues to
arrive at a balanced answer.
