29. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973) was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known as the author of the classicfantasyworksThe Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's first job after World War I was at the Oxford English Dictionary, where he worked mainly on the history and etymology of words of Germanic origin. In 1920, he took up a post as Readerin English Language at theUniversity of Leeds, and became the youngest professor there. In 1925, Tolkien returned to Oxford as aProfessor of Anglo-SaxonLiterature with a fellowship at Pembroke College.

30. Tolkien was much inspired by early Germanic, especiallyOld Englishliterature,poetry, andmythology, which were his chosen and much-loved areas of expertise. He also acknowledged several non-Germanic influences or sources for some of his stories and ideas. During his time atPembroke Collegehe wroteThe Hobbit and the first two volumes of The Lord of the Rings.

31. The Lord of the Rings started as a sequel to J. R. R. Tolkien's earlier work, The Hobbit, published in 1937. The popularity of The Hobbit had led George Allen & Unwin, the publishers, to ask for a sequel. Tolkien warned them that he wrote quite slowly, and responded with several stories he had already developed. Allen & Unwin thought more stories about hobbits would be popular.

32. So at the age of 45, Tolkien began writing the story that would become The Lord of the Rings. The story would not be finished until 12 years later, in 1949, and would not be fully published until 1955, when Tolkien was 63 years old.
