Again.....in memorium
Another one of the early commentators on Tolkien has passed away. J. E. A. Tyler died on October 28, just eleven days after he received a diagnosis of cancer.
Tyler is the author of the Tolkien Companion published in 1976. That book has gone through multiple revisions and reprintings, the latest in 2002. It is one of the few print guides that lists name from HoMe in addition to Silm, Hobbit, and LotR. Many days, I grab for the volume if there's a name in a post I don't recognize. Tyler also wrote a number of other books including a good one on the Beatles that I own. In the final edition of his book, Tyler had this to say about JRRT: Quote:
