Krátky popis
The world first publication of a previously unknown work by J.R.R.
Tolkien, which tells the extraordinary story of the final days of
England’s legendary hero, King Arthur. The Fall of Arthur, the only
venture by J.R.R. Tolkien into the legends of Arthur King of
Britain, may well be regarded as his finest and most skilful
achievement in the use of the Old English alliterative metre, in
which he brought to his transforming perceptions of the old
narratives a pervasive sense of the grave and fateful nature of all
that is told: of Arthur’s expedition overseas into distant heathen
lands, of Guinevere’s flight from Camelot, of the great sea-battle
on Arthur’s return to Britain, in the portrait of the traitor
Mordred, in the tormented doubts of Lancelot in his French
castle.Unhappily, The Fall of Arthur was one of several long
narrative poems that he abandoned in that period. In this case he
evidently began it in the earlier nineteen-thirties, and it was
sufficiently advanced for him to send it to a very perceptive
friend who read it with great enthusiasm at the end of 1934 and
urgently pressed him ‘You simply must finish it!’ But in vain: he
abandoned it, at some date unknown, though there is some evidence
that it may have been in 1937, the year of the publication of The
Hobbit and the first stirrings of The Lord of the Rings. Years
later, in a letter of 1955, he said that ‘he hoped to finish a long
poem on The Fall of Arthur’, but that day never came.Associated
with the text of the poem, however, are many manuscript pages: a
great quantity of drafting and experimentation in verse, in which
the strange evolution of the poem’s structure is revealed, together
with narrative synopses and very significant if tantalising notes.
In these latter can be discerned clear if mysterious associations
of the Arthurian conclusion with The Silmarillion, and the bitter
ending of the love of Lancelot and Guinevere, which was never
written.
