The Hobbit, Allegory, and Magic: Discoveries from JRR Tolkien's Letter to Milton Waldman | Part 2 | 215
Without Bilbo, there would be no J.R.R. Tolkien. Without "The Hobbit," there would be no "Lord of the Rings" or "Silmarillion." Bilbo's tale, as Tolkien himself insists, is the linchpin, the essential connecting link, of his entire legendarium.
Today, we embark on a journey to unravel how "The Hobbit" stands at the heart of Tolkien's myth as we delve further into the mysteries of the Waldman Letter. Along the way, we'll explore Tolkien's disdain for allegory and dissect the profound meaning he gives the word “Magic”. Oh Hedwig, we’re not in Hogwarts any more!
