Descripción Paper Back. Condición: New. Patrick Curry's extended defense of Tolkien's Middle-earth (via The Lord of the Rings and ,The Hobbit,) is sharp, witty, and - to quote fantasy author Ursula Le Guin - 'enjoyably ruthless' in its attack on the conventional criticism handed out by the intellectual elite. In an attempt to make sense of Tolkien's creation, Curry divides it into three domains, each nestled within the larger: the social (the Shire), the natural (Middle-earth), and the spiritual (the Sea). He devotes a chapter to each, but more importantly, explores the places and ways in which they overlap, because - to quote Curry - 'that is where their heart is to be found, and any meaning found in or derived from [Tolkien's] work must embody all three concerns.' Taken together, Curry believes these domains to be 'a remedy for pathological modernity.namely, the resacralization (or re-enchantment) of experienced and living nature, including human nature.' As a literary myth, Tolkien understood that Christianity could only be conveyed in a secularized form, and it has been argued by some critics that for Tolkien, fantasy was not only art but also a sort of secularized religion by which he and his readers could find access to the ancient heroic world of Middle-earth. To quote the Tolkien scholar, Randel Helms, 'the poetry of the mythic imagination will not.replace religion so much as make it possible, putting imaginatively starved modern man once again into awed and reverent contact with a living universe.' Curry sees deeply and well into this particular vein of Tolkien's mythic and transformative genius. Nº de ref. del artículo: 4045
