	J. R. R. Tolkien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892 in Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State (now Free State), South Africa, to Arthur Tolkien, an English bank manager, and his wife Mabel Tolkien (maiden name Suffield).
		Tolkien was strongly influenced by Anglo-Saxon literature, Germanic and Norse mythologies, Finnish folklore, the Bible, and Greek mythology.
		Privately, Tolkien was attracted to "things of racial and linguistic significance" and he entertained notions of an inherited taste of language, which he termed the "native tongue" as opposed to "cradle tongue" in his 1955 lecture English and Welsh, which is crucial to his understanding of race and language.

	JRR Tolkien Biography - The Tolkien Society
		The West Midlands in Tolkien's childhood were a complex mixture of the grimly industrial Birmingham conurbation, and the quintessentially rural stereotype of England, Worcestershire and surrounding areas: Severn country, the land of the composers Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Gurney, and more distantly the poet A. Housman (it is also just across the border from Wales).
		Tolkien's life was split between these two: the then very rural hamlet of Sarehole, with its mill, just south of Birmingham; and darkly urban Birmingham itself, where he was eventually sent to King Edward's School.
		In typical Tolkien fashion, he then decided he needed to find out what a Hobbit was, what sort of a hole it lived in, why it lived in a hole, etc. From this investigation grew a tale that he told to his younger children, and even passed round.

	fUSION Anomaly. J.R.R. Tolkien
		Tolkien died on September 2, 1973; The Silmarillion was edited and published posthumously by his son, Christopher, in 1977.
		J.R.R. Tolkien was a mild-mannered Oxford medievalist and staunch Roman Catholic whose _The Lord of the Rings_ takes place inside one of the most completely realized worlds in the history of fantastic literature.
		For Tolkien, the creation of an authentic Secondary World was itself an expression of faith, since "we make still by the law in which we're made." But though a mortal and in some ways very earthly place, Middle-earth is as profoundly seductive as any heaven.

	A Tolkien Dictionary
		This approach is complicated by the languages of J.R.R. Tolkien because his languages are fabricated; that is to say, they did not evolve amongst an historical population over a long period of time; their forms were not tested by an evolving citizenry, their ambiguities not resolved by common usage.
		An excellent resource for discussion of all the Tolkien languages by some of the world's leading scholars can be found on the web at the Tolkien Language List within their archives, or sign up for the discussion forum.
		The reason is that Sindarin was all but non-existent in Tolkien's mind until he began to work on LOTR; the Professor's first love was to write the Elven lore and construct the ages of history; to some extent he got side-tracked into LOTR after he published The Hobbit.

	The Tolkien Sarcasm Page
		J.R.R. Tolkien, in writing his extraordinary books about Middle-earth, has succeeded in creating a world so finely-detailed and fully-realized that even now, over fifty years after The Lord of the Rings was first published, linguists and scholars still continue their avid research and debates about the world Tolkien has created.
		The Tolkien Sarcasm Page, one of the oldest bastions of Tolkien humor on the Web, is here to help Middle-earth historians everywhere take a break from those heated arguments about Glorfindel's bloodline and whether or not Thingol was a wise King.
		For those of you who are doing research for a book report on Tolkien, but don't want to be bothered with reading volumes and volumes of his work, you may find this Synopsis of The Lord of the Rings to be helpful.

		Tolkien wrote that among the most important events in the development of his linguistic aesthetic was "the discovery in Exeter College library, when I was supposed to be studying for Honour Mods, of a Finnish Grammar".
