Snyder, Christopher

Through extensive research, Snyder has succeeded in revealing Oxford in all of its medieval glory and the hold it had on Fitzgerald's creativity. Recommended for scholars and general readers interested in a unique explication of The Great Gatsby and an informative cultural history.

Snyder provides fascinating insight into the literary mind of J.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973) and a comprehensive time line of Middle-earth, from its initial inception to the trilogy of films that brought the beloved world to a new generation.
