J.R.R. Tolkien e A.S. Byatt: connessioni
Abstract
Nel 2008, il Times pubblicò la selezione dei 50 maggiori scrittori dal dopoguerra: vi compaiono sia J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), oggi riconosciuto come un classico, sia Antonia S. Byatt (1936-2023), vincitrice del Booker Prize 1990 per il suo romanzo Possessione. Le opere di Tolkien e Byatt sono molto diverse per scrittura, storie, personaggi e ambientazione. Eppure esistono interessanti connessioni tra i due autori, e Byatt ha riconosciuto in Tolkien una presenza importante nella letteratura inglese. Il presente articolo intende suggerire alcune linee di ricerca sulla connessione letteraria tra i due autori.

In 2008, The Times published its selection of the 50 greatest post-war writers: it featured both J.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973), now recognized as a classic, and Antonia S. Byatt (1936–2023), winner of the 1990 Booker Prize for her novel Possession. The works of Tolkien and Byatt are very different in terms of writing, stories, characters, and setting. Yet there are interesting connections between the two authors, and Byatt recognized Tolkien as an important presence in English literature. This article aims to suggest some lines of research on the literary connection between the two authors.
