J.R.R. Tolkien: Life and Legend
J.R.R. Tolkien: Life and Legend is the catalogue of the 1992 centenary exhibition held by the Bodleian Library, Oxford, to commemorate the centenary of the birth of J.R.R. Tolkien.
"J.R.R. Tolkien: Life and Legend" was the first large exhibition focused on Tolkien. In this exhibition 250 items were listed in the catalogue, with almost all coming from the Bodleian archives — a few were donated by Tolkien's publisher HarperCollins, and a small number from Corpus Christi College and Exeter College from Tolkien's time there.
This catalogue lists, describes, and gives background on the items displayed during the exhibition. It reproduces a large selection of artwork, photographs, maps, manuscript pages, annotations, letters, and other momentos in both colour and black & white.
A few examples are: the cover of Ye Chequers Clubbe Binge, of Exeter College Smoker, a page from Book of the Foxrook.
