John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
(3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973
English writer and philologist J.R.R. Tolkien was the author of
the high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
The great success of these two books led directly to a popular resurgence of the genre. This has caused him to be popularly
identified as the "father" of modern fantasy literature—or, more
precisely, of high fantasy.
