Reviews

Eric Reinders provides an in-depth and fascinating tour of Chinese interpretations, translations, and adaptations of Tolkien's legendarium, never neglecting their linguistic and cultural framework. This is a welcome study exploring a largely neglected area within Tolkien scholarship. * Robert Steed, Professor of East Asian Cultures and Religions, Hawkeye Community College, USA *
