could you give me some points about tolkiens style of writing?

Question

THIS IS NOT MY HOMEWORK so please give it ? i tried google but dint get some solid stuff

Answer 1

It's long winded, overly descriptive, but very interesting.

Tolkien was a linguist at heart and he wanted to create a story to use his language skills. (This is the main reason each race in the book have their own languages.)

Pick up Lord of the Rings and read it yourself. You'll see.

You can also go to wikipedia.com for stuff about Tolkien.

Answer 2

Tolkien was not only a linguist at heart, he held the chair at Oxford University. Frodo is NOT a Christ type and the Lord of The Rings is in no way allegorical. In fact, at a meeting of an impromptu literary society, at Oxford, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien made a bet as to who could come up with the most comprehensive, non-Christian mythology. The products of that bet are The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of The Rings. Needless to say, Tolkien won the bet.
His writing style is rooted in the English LITERARY tradition, which many people may mistake for long-windedness or overly-descriptive writing. Take a look at some famous British literature from the late 19th and early 20th century. Tolkien takes his composition cues from these authors.

Answer 3

My in-laws have an old biography of Tolkiens that I have breezed through.

The most I can glean from that is that he was heavily influenced by his experiences in WW I, that's why there is sometimes such a dark edge to some of it, as well as why he is so excellent at detail into battle scenes.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you're asking. He writes fictional novels in narrative form. His writings are highly imaginative. Filled with wit and humor. Very special, close friendships are set against the background of dangerous, momentous conflicts. Frodo is a Christ type in his stories. Is this what you are looking for?

Answer 5

too much detail where ther doesn't need to be and not enough detail where there needs to be.
