	Fourth Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fourth Age began after Sauron was finally defeated, when his Ruling Ring was destroyed, and the Elves left Middle-earth for the Uttermost West.
		This age was (presumably) marked by the recovery of the Númenórean kingdoms in exile (Arnor and Gondor), the final ascent of Men and the total wane of the Elves.
		He said, however, in a letter written in 1958 that he believed the Ages had quickened and that it was about the end of the Sixth Age/beginning of the Seventh.

		That implies that maybe the fall of Nazi Germany ended the Sixth Age in 1945, as the other ages ended with the downfalls of tyrants.
		Since Tolkien was a devout Catholic it is certain he would have marked the incarnation of Jesus Christ as the most important event of its age, suggesting the Fifth Age started at the beginning of our calendar.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Fourth Age
		The last of the four ages chronicled by Tolkien, and the one about which least is known (including its length).
		The Fourth Age was held to have begun with the passing of the Ring-bearers over the sea from Mithlond on 29 September 3021 (Third Age), though in Gondor it was reckoned as beginning on 25 March of the same year (the second anniversary of the Downfall of Barad-dûr).
		The fact that we are 'at the end of the Sixth Age, or in the Seventh' hints strongly that Tolkien saw some important historical event as marking the recent (or imminent) end of the Sixth Age.

		Technically I suppose this shouldn't be in the "Fourth Age" section since it was written in the Third Age, but this fit best, as it is written from a historical perspective rather than a prophetic one.

	The Grey Havens - Songs & Tales: Isildur - Preface
		When he retired to Gondor in 64 Fourth Age, he took the copy with him and gave it to King Elessar I. It was long kept in the famed library of Minas Tirith, which burned, to our eternal loss, some four hundred years later.
		However, in 172 Fourth Age, Findegil, the Writer of King Eldarion II, made an exact copy of the Red Book at the request of Faramir II, Thirty-fifth Thain, and that copy went again north to be kept in the Took Library.
		Of all the events of those far-off days, the most stirring are those that were recognized even by their participants as so momentous as to signal the end of an age and the beginning of a new.

	Three Rings for the Elven Kings
		Second Age: Saturday 26 December 9564 BC Third Age: Tuesday 24 December 6123 BC Fourth Age: Wednesday 18 March 3102 BC The first two of these dates, despite appearances, are almost exactly the winter-solstice - the Gregorian Calendar gets slightly out of synchronisation with the seasons when projected that far back.
		It would be a relatively easy task to project the Fourth Age calendar forward as far as we liked, but unfortunately such a thing would give a false impression because Tolkien stated that the ages have probably quickened, in other words got shorter.
		Furthermore, if the Third Age is anything to go by, it is perfectly possible that the calendar rules for the Fourth Age were tampered with at some unknown date.

		Today, these "young old" we add another group that is increasing in numbers, the "fourth age" or those over 75 years of age.
		A United Nations' resolution has declared 1999 International Year of Older Persons and has adopted as its theme "Toward a Society for All Ages."

	Hobsbawm's fourth age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Age of Extremes picks up the story in the 20th century through the sub-ages of the Age of Catastrophe (war, depression, fascism, war), the Golden Age (the postwar economic boom) and the Landslide (the economic recessions and political instability from the end of the boom in the early '70s).
		Age of Extremes, by and large, shows an undiminished political, economic and cultural acumen, and the same sprightliness of prose, that Hobsbawm's previous Ages displayed.
		Age of Extremes lacks the sureness of vision, and the motivating power to go forth and right wrongs, of Hobsbawm's earlier works about earlier times.
