J.R.R. Tolkien: Life and Legend is the exhibition catalogue of the 1992 exhibition held by the Bodleian Library, Oxford, to commemorate the centenary of the birth of J.R.R. Tolkien.
"Tolkien: Life and Legend" in 1992 was the first largest exhibition focused on Tolkien. In this exhibition 250 items are listed in the catalogue, with almost all coming from the Bodleian archives — a few were donated by Tolkien's publisher HarperCollins, and a small number from Corpus Christi College and Exeter College from Tolkien's time there.[1]
This catalogue lists, describes, and gives background on the items displayed during the exhibition. It reproduces a large selection of artwork, photographs, maps, manuscript pages, annotations, letters, and other momentos in both colour and black & white.
A few examples are: the cover of Ye Chequers Clubbe Binge[2], of Exeter College Smoker[3], a page from Book of the Foxrook.[4]
