From Imagination to Faërie: Tolkien's Thomist Fantasy

From Imagination to Faërie: Tolkien's Thomist Fantasy is a book exploring the use of language and imagination and elements of myth in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world. Written by Yannick Imbert, a professor at Faculte Jean Calvin in Aix-en-Provence, it was published by Pickwick Publications in July 2022.
Like Jonathan McIntosh in The Flame Imperishable: Tolkien, St. Thomas, and the Metaphysics of Faërie, Imbert proposes a Thomistic overlay to Tolkien's imagination.
== Note on the title ==
Faërie is an archaic English term, meaning originally 'fairyland' or 'fantastical'. In circles of fantasy literature, it can be metaphysical or literal, and an adjective or a proper noun.
