Middle Earth - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Tolkien insisted that Middle-earth is our Earth in several of his letters. Middle-earth is the name for the lands on J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional ancient Earth where most of the tales of his legendarium take place. Some hollow earth enthusiasts interpret the term their way, believing that Tolkien referred to the hollow earth theory, but nothing in Tolkien's writings or beliefs supports this. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /middle_earth.htm   (4090 words)

Lord of the Rings Movies Information TheOneRing.net™ News Archives Plate armour is virtually non-existent in Tolkien's writings of Middle Earth (as it was during the Dark Ages). For example, the word "breastplate" is never encountered even once in all of the Middle Earth writings (this includes the vast amount of material published after Tolkien's death). As a result, the armour and weapons of Middle Earth are quite similar to those used when Beowulf and the Norse epics were written: The Dark Ages (part of which is often called the Viking Age). www.theonering.net /perl/newsview/8/975363464   (2674 words)

Middle-earth canon When writing The Hobbit Tolkien did not yet consider that the world of Hobbits might be the same as his Middle-earth, but he still included several references to his (at the time) unpublished tales to give the story a sense of depth. Moreover, toward the end of his life the focus of his writing shifted from pure story telling to more philosophical concerns, which led to a considerable shift in tone and content.

Essays on Tolkien's Middle Earth The following personal writings enquire into various aspects of Middle Earth, using J.R.R Tolkien's written works, combined with common sense and imagination, to provide a fuller picture of the topic. Please note that the writings on Eriador, Kingship, and Relations between Gondor and Arnor were composed using the earlier Unwin Paperbacks 1984 edition of LOTR, whilst the other works used the later HarperCollins 1995 edition. They represent my interpretation and emphasis, and your own may differ. gofree.indigo.ie /~warrenl/Tolkien/Tolkien.html   (237 words)

Middle-earth and Narnian Addenda It can reasonably be argued that we need an "imaginative grasp" of their somewhat more recent world, also now "lost," which the older works do not include, but which we now stand outside of and so can judge with some objectivity. Whichever side one takes in that dispute, it is certainly true that we cannot understand the point at issue without an imaginative grasp of the world we have lost. We do not think such books should be selected and read before the classics, however popular they may seem to be for the day. www.angelicum.net /html/middle-earth_and_narnian_adden.html   (2721 words)

Tolkien's Parish: The Canonical Middle-earth Having established what we mean by "canonical", the next logical step is to list a set of goals that we would like the canonical Middle-earth to satisfy. Tolkien's Middle-earth is without question one of the most vividly realized imaginary worlds in all of literature. These goals are listed roughly in order of precedence as I see it (and I suspect that that the order is more likely to be controversial than the contents). tolkien.slimy.com /essays/TolkParish.html   (2159 words)

Tolkien's Legendarium: Essays on The History of Middle-earth “Gnomish was the native language of the Noldor, which diverged from Elfin because of their long wandering about the earth and the black ages of their thraldom under Melko (as Rúmil expresses it), whereas Sindarin is the language of the Grey-elves, which was adopted by the Noldor during their exile in Middle-earth. Also, I hope to bring attention to the small body of works by Christopher Tolkien that are unrelated to his father’s writings. I believe that in their genesis these stories are inextricably linked; therefore we will take a close look into their origin in the bargain, a review of the events leading up to it, evidence for their dates of composition, and the strikingly different ways these works deal with common themes. www.elvish.org /legendarium   (1844 words)

Nonsense in schoolbooks: Prentice Hall promotes the flat-Earth story The notion that 15th-century Europeans believed Earth to be flat is derived from a story that was invented in the 1800s and was retold and embellished, with signal results, in a book of fictionalized "history" published by the American novelist Washington Irving. The sphericity of Earth was known to the Greeks long before 300 B.C., and it appeared in the writings of Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), who was summarizing old knowledge. Knowledge of Earth's shape had not been "forgotten," and it is wrong to say that Columbus and his contemporaries merely "believed" that Earth "might be" spherical. www.textbookleague.org /26flat.htm   (1062 words)

What Riyadh Buys [in Washington] - Middle East Forum A Washington Post account lists other former officials, including George H.W. Bush, who have found the Saudi connection "lucrative." It also quotes a Saudi source saying that the Saudis have contributed to every presidential library in recent decades. Many ex-U.S. ambassadors to Riyadh have received substantial sums of money since John C. West set the gold standard by funding his personal foundation with a $500,000 donation from a single Saudi prince, plus more from other Saudis, soon after he left the kingdom in 1981. Only with this sort of change can U.S. citizens regain confidence in those of their officials dealing with one of the world's more important states. www.meforum.org /article/pipes/981   (644 words)

The Middle Ages. It was during this last part of the Middle Ages that the 3 dimensional nature of space was determined and the concept of force was made precise. Beyond the last sphere (that of the fixed stars) lay paradise, hell was in the bowels of the Earth (a sort of ``under-Earth''), and purgatory was in the regions between Earth and the Moon (Fig. Sometimes the conclusions reached by the philosophers were not satisfactory to the theologians of the era and, in fact, in 1277 the bishop of Paris collected a list of 219 propositions connected with Aristotle's doctrine which no-one could teach, discuss or consider in any light under penalty of excommunication. phyun5.ucr.edu /~wudka/Physics7/Notes_www/node40.html   (1357 words)

A complete listing is impossible in so short a period of time, neither is it possible to explore all the various versions of each tale, myth, and poem. The celestial relationship between Orion and Sirius is used by Tolkien in some of his more obscure writings as a symbol of the close relationship between the warriors Telumehtar [Telimektar, Daimord], son of the Vala Tulkas, and Ingil [Gil, Gilweth, Githilma], son of the Elf King Inwë [Ingwë]. www.physics.ccsu.edu /Larsen/astronomy_of_middle.htm   (6230 words)

Amazon.co.uk: The Return of the Shadow (History of Middle-Earth S.): Books It is necessary to continue with the other volumes of the 'History of Middle Earth' series, but it is rewarding and well worth the effort. This book is a fascinating insight into the development of the greatest book of the 20th century (allegedly), and why it took nearly 2 decades to complete. So for a real fan who wants to know how hard it is to write a book - to write this book - its a pleasure to walk with Tolkien on his journey from the Shire to Bree and Rivendell...and the road goes ever on and on. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0261102249   (531 words)

J.R.R. Tolkien (Christopher Tolkien, editor) The History of Middle-earth Tolkien couldn’t write a story without inventing a bevy of languages to go with it, and appended to The Notion Club Papers is a report on the Adunaic Language of Númenor, together with two other versions of the Númenor material, “The Drowning of Anadûne,” and the Third Version of the Fall of Númenor. Tolkien began writing with the intention of having the quest end at Sauron’s (a.k.a., the Neuromancer’s) headquarters in Mirkwood, a mere hop, skip and a jump from Rivendell. Perhaps because he is writing from an elvish tradition (he claims to be using elvish documents translated by the Englishman Eriol/Aelfwine), Tolkien seems dubious about his earlier theory that orcs were descendants of corrupted elves. www.greenmanreview.com /book/book_tolkien_home.html   (9339 words)

An Introduction to Elvish, Other Tongues, Proper Names and Writing Systems of the Third Age of the Western Lands of Middle-Earth as Set Forth in the Published Writings of Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien An Introduction to Elvish, Other Tongues, Proper Names and Writing Systems of the Third Age of the Western Lands of Middle-Earth as Set Forth in the Published Writings of Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien Review: this text is very interesting. Although it's truly astounding how much detail is uncovered and the standard of scholarship is always rigorous (even despite the odd nutter insisting that TLOTR is actual, literal history), it predates the Silmarillion and all the subsequent books so an update or a new work is desperately needed. Just about the only part of _Introduction_ that has not been hopelessly outdated is the discussion of the two main writing systems, the Tengwar and the Cirth. www.textkit.com /0_0905220102.html   (728 words)
