JRR Tolkien and the Arts - A Theology of Subcreation
ISBN: 9781941106136

Tolkien once wrote in an essay called On Fairy-Stories that "we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker." We are little makers, emulating the True Creator, God. This book reflects on the implications of Tolkien's ideas and his writings to explore the theory of Art and Imagination in Tolkien, the literary and visual art of Tolkien, and the art made about the mytholgies Tolkien created.
