| Titre : | The annotated Hobbit | | Type de document : | texte imprimé | | Auteurs : | J. R. R. Tolkien ; Douglas A. Anderson | | Editeur : | London : Unwin Hyman | | Année de publication : | 1988 | | Importance : | x, 335 p | | Présentation : | couv. ill. en coul. | | Format : | 28 cm | | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 0-04-440337-2 | | Langues : | Anglais | | Catégories : | LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature
| | Résumé : | Honoring the 50th anniversary of the U.S. publication of The Hobbit, this edition offers more than the expected annotation of names, chronology, sources, and commentary (although literary criticism and cross-references to Lord of the Rings are limited). There is a fine introduction to the book's inception and reception, a rune-key, both primary and secondary bibliographies, a wealth of black-and-white illustrations from foreign editions and from Tolkien's own hand, and an appendix detailing all text revisions in the many U.S. and English editions. Though there are omissions (e.g., the Biblical and other traditional English sources for Tolkien's prose style), the scholar and general reader alike should find this commemorative edition both instructive and pleasing.
