With the box office successes of movies based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, familiarity with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth is growing. Unfortunately, scholarship dealing with Middle-Earth itself is comparatively rare in Tolkien studies. Similarly, although public concern for the environment is widespread ecocriticism is also an under served area of literary studies. This title fills a gap in both areas by combining ecocritical and broader postmodern concerns with the growing appreciation for Tolkien's Middle-Earth.
