Deep Roots in a Time of Frost

Deep Roots in a Time of Frost

In this collection of his published essays, Patrick Curry explores two themes in Tolkien's great work: enchantment, the Elves and FaÃ«rie, and the natural world of Middle-earth. He considers their different effects on both readers and literary critics, and brings to light the deep connections between these two subjects, as well as between them and Tolkien's ultimate concern, 'Death and the desire for deathlessness.' Also illuminated, in contrast, is magic, as epitomised by the One Ring. Finally, he argues that the hobbits are exemplars of how to live in relation to enchantment: neither pursuing, nor avoiding, but honouring it.
