description: J.R.R. Tolkien's works have sold nearly 100 million copies worldwide, and have been wildly labeled as reactionary &amp; escapist by hostile critics. In this searing analysis, Patrick Curry shows just how mistaken these critics are. He reveals Tolkien's profound and subtle advocacy of community, ecology, and spiritual values against the destructive forces of runaway modernity. Hardcover with Jacket, 206pp with Index.
