What is the place of The Lord of the Rings in the history of Western literature

If you want to talk about the status in the history of literature, then I can tell you accurately: there is no status.

It is the most classic magic in the West**. The author himself created the elf language and used it in his book.

It's a different genre from Shakespeare's books, so it's hard to compare.

This is a popular ** for children, and it has no value in the history of literature.

can be in a very high position. Because after all, at that time this movie caused a sensation all over the world. There is a high box office.

In a superior position. Because the influence is really great, it can be said to be the originator of magic films.

The production team strives for perfection in epic masterpieces, and the props and special effects are very close to the original work, so that the audience can get closer to the European Middle-earth world.

Magical epic pinnacle ceiling.

So far in the 21st century, the most unmissable work is a magnificent epic. The content summarizes the laws of civilization history and the analysis of human nature, the broad feelings of heroism, the extremely grand and beautiful image style and the perfect use of special effects can be called shocking.

In the film industry, it is in the position of a high score, and it is also worth learning from many works, and the details are handled very well.

is in a very high position, whether it is special effects or plot, it is difficult for many movies of the same genre to reach its height.

Epic movies, very classic works, and a high reputation, even now it is difficult to have a work that can compare with it, and I feel that it is difficult to make such an excellent blockbuster again.

It's hard to have a movie like this, and it's hard to beat a remake of Homer's epic, and Troy is just a part of Homer's epic.

A good film, no movie can compare with it.

In an epic movie, the first thing that comes to mind is The Lord of the Rings.

"the lord of the ring"Taiwanese translates to:"The Lord of the Rings"

Taiwanese translation is Zhu Xueheng.

Young Only in his 30s.

Because of the Lord of the Rings, the book earned 340 million Taiwan dollars.

Tolkien's best friend, he is the author of the long-form fantasy "The Lord of the Rings" with tens of millions of followers in the world. Tolkien was born in South Africa on 3 January 1892 and died in a hospital in Bournemouth on 2 September 1973.

There is not even a place in Middle-earth, let alone history. This is generally the case with foreign fantasy**.

This story is purely fictional and any similarities are coincidental.

Correct it. "The Lord of the Rings" must be very well-known in the West, but it does not have a high status in literary history.

As for why? It must be because the professor of literature (an expert in literary history) thinks that his work does not have too high literary and artistic value, otherwise, such a well-known work would definitely have to be written about it.

My opinion is that Mr. Tolkien created fantasy**, that is, genre literature, similar to our martial arts, so it is difficult for works of this genre to enter the house.

Only fairy tale (sometimes called fantasy) works such as "Gulliver's Travels" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" have high literary value, and writers have literary status.

For example, the Rowling and "Harry Potter" we know have a high status in the history of English literature, why Rowling's literary status is higher than Tolkien, which we generally Chinese admire, is because "Harry Potter" inherits "Gulliver's Travels" and Dickens's works, which are more realistic criticism and political satire value, so it can obtain a higher status. None of Tolkien's high-tech fantasy paths, including the latest Martin, have a literary status (in this faction, Tolkien has the highest literary status, but he is only at the bottom of the literary chain).

If you still can't understand it, then I'll tell you this reason: all fantasy writers who are fantastic and how good they are, the literary status is generally relatively low; Some of the "fantasy" writers that the fantasy control despises are more able to enter the mainstream literary history because they focus on literature and art other than fantasy. The same is true in the science fiction world, Da Liu, who is highly worshiped by science fiction, and his literary status must be low; Wang Xiaobo's "** Era" may be regarded as low-quality science fiction, but it focuses on literature, and its literary status must be high.

What is "The Lord of the Rings" that is not recognized by the Western literary community?

Those who do not see the Lord of the Rings in the West do not seem to be well-known.+

Susan Jeffries, a reporter for the Sunday Times in London, told a colleague in January 1997 that J.R. R R. Tolkien's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings had been voted the greatest book of the twentieth century in a poll run by Britain's Radio 4 and Waterstone's. Her colleague responded, "Really?

Oh my God! Oh my! Oh, my God!

On the other side of the Atlantic, the United States reacted more softly. In the 1999 readers' poll, "The Lord of the Rings" became not just the greatest book of the century, but the greatest book of 2,000 years. None of the intellectuals showed much disappointment with such an outcome.

Tolkien's literary magnum opus has become ingrained in popular culture. After all, many of today's American college students or journalists probably had the experience of circulating rune notes in what appeared to be elven in their classrooms when they were in eighth grade. They may still have the folded paperback editions of the old books published by Ballentine; And its psychedelic '70s-style cover (which the author dismisses very much) may still be tucked away in a corner of the attic now.

In addition, there are some intellectuals who are confined to the northeast corner of the United States, or scattered in a small number of college towns in the United States, who have always believed that it is better to have a high and low level of Yangchun Baixuequ, so as not to vulgarize their favorite subjects. Millions of American readers are happy to read a book as esoteric and complex as The Lord of the Rings, and for some intellectuals (I am one of them, for example), they will be satisfied, even moved. Regardless of what everyone thinks about it, reading The Lord of the Rings will be more challenging than reading Gone with the Wind (ranked second in Amazon's survey), not to mention Harry Potter and the Mysterious Philosopher's Stone (number five).
