Communism in Germany under the Weimar Republic by Ben Fowkes

Communism in Germany under the Weimar Republic by Ben Fowkes

Tolkien's views on language, though never published as a formalised theory, were in some aspects rather 'heretic' (to use Tom Shippey's term) and seemed to fly into the face of 'established' linguistic theory - most notably his conception of 'native (hereditary) language' and, related to it, the idea of 'linguistic aesthetic' and 'phonetic fitness'. Unfortunately, this aspect of Tolkien's linguistic work has, as yet, not received the attention it deserves and Ross Smith is one of the first Tolkien scholars to investigate the question of Tolkien's position on language vis-a-vis the then (and even now) dominant tenet(s) in some depth. This is a second, revised edition.

Ben Fowkes was a history professor at Sheffield and North London University. He conducted archival research in Vienna, Bonn, Prague, and Moscow, as well as writing several publications, including Communism in Germany During the Weimar Republic. Karl Marx: The Economic Manuscript of 1863-1865 (Capital, Book Three) and Henryk Grossman: Collected Writings (edited by Professor Rick Kuhn) are two translations he did. Brill will publish both books.
