'Learn Now the Lore of the Living Creatures': On J. R. R. Tolkien's Alliterative Poetry

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper explores the use of the ancient Germanic alliterative metre and literary devices in the 20th-century poems composed by the author John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. The first part briefly explains the Old English and Old Norse metrical rules as well as other poetical techniques (such as semantic linking) used by poets and singers of the second half of the first millenium, and presents analyzed examples of original works of art. The second part then focuses on and analyzes six extracts from Tolkien's alliterative body of work, comments upon their accuracy as far as the Germanic metre is concerned, and discusses Tolkien's contribution to alliterative poetry and literature in general. One of the article's aims is to prove that the ways of the ancestors of English and American literature are not a matter of a long-forgotten past, and that in the 20th and 21st century, among the plethora of diverse subject matters and genres, the original English way of storytelling is still relevant.
