Its theoretical underpinnings emerge out of feminist, foucauldian, patristic and queer hermeneutics. The book is organized into categories specific to transformation, spirit versus body, discourse, and source material. More than one essay focuses on female bodies and on the monstrous or evil body. While Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e is central to most analyses, authors also cover \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbit, The Silmarillion\u003c\/i\u003e, and material in \u003ci\u003eThe History of Middle-earth\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Vaccaro\u003c\/b\u003e is senior lecturer at the University of Vermont, where he teaches courses on early medieval English literature and on Tolkien's legendarium.
