J. R. R. Tolkien's bestselling fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings had an initial mixed literary reception. Despite some enthusiastic early reviews from supporters such as W. H. Auden, Iris Murdoch, and C. S. Lewis, literary hostility to Tolkien quickly became acute and continued until the start of the 21st century. From 1982, Tolkien scholars such as Tom Shippey and Verlyn Flieger began to roll back the hostility, defending Tolkien, rebutting the critics' attacks and analysing what they saw as good qualities in Tolkien's writing.

  • J. R. R. Tolkien's bestselling fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings had an initial mixed literary reception. Despite some enthusiastic early reviews from supporters such as W. H. Auden, Iris Murdoch, and C. S. Lewis, literary hostility to Tolkien quickly became acute and continued until the start of the 21st century. From 1982, Tolkien scholars such as Tom Shippey and Verlyn Flieger began to roll back the hostility, defending Tolkien, rebutting the critics' attacks and analysing what they saw as good qualities in Tolkien's writing. From 2003, scholars such as Brian Rosebury began to consider why Tolkien had attracted such hostility. Rosebury noted that Tolkien avoided calling The Lord of the Rings a novel, and that in Shippey's view Tolkien had been aiming to create a medieval-style heroic romance, despite modern scepticism about that literary mode. In 2014, Patrick Curry analysed the reasons for the hostility, finding it both visceral and full of evident mistakes, and suggesting that the issue was that the critics felt that Tolkien threatened their dominant ideology, modernism. Interpretations of The Lord of the Rings have included Marxist criticism, sometimes at odds with Tolkien's social conservatism; the psychological reading of heroes, their partners, and their opponents as Jungian archetypes; and comparison of Tolkien with modernist writers.

  • Le opere di John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, in particolare Il Signore degli Anelli (1954-55), hanno esercitato una notevole influenza fin dalla loro pubblicazione. Negli anni sessanta sorse una cultura di fandom, ma l'accoglienza da parte dell'establishment della critica letteraria fu più lento. Studi accademici sulle opere di Tolkien furono pubblicati ad un ritmo crescente a partire dalla metà degli anni ottanta. (it)
  • Бестселлер Дж. Р. Р. Толкина в жанре фэнтези «Властелин колец» поначалу вызвал неоднозначную литературную критику. Несмотря на некоторые первые восторженные отзывы таких сторонников, как У. Х. Оден, Айрис Мердок и К. С. Льюис, литературная враждебность к Толкину быстро обострилась и продолжалась до начала 21 века. С 1980-х годов в защиту Толкина стали проводиться академические исследования; с тех пор темп неуклонно возрастал, что привело к тщательной литературной переоценке всего его творчества. Интерпретации «Властелина колец» включали марксистскую критику, иногда противоречащую социальному консерватизму Толкина; психологическое прочтение героев, их партнеров и противников как юнгианских архетипов; и сравнение Толкина с писателями-модернистами. Творчество Толкина сильно критиковали в литературных кругах вместе с растущей популярностью его произведений и лишь в конце жизни автор начал получать положительную критику. (ru)
