With six pages of important manuscript notes by Richard Adams, in which he pours out his thoughts about Tolkien's work and compares it to his own, in a free-flowing hand, with numerous additions and underlinings. He calls Gollum a 'marvellous conception... the awful, unacceptable outsider, who nevertheless is of huge value', and compares him to others who he sees as similar figures, such as Van Gogh, Shelley, Nelson, Emmeline Pankhurst and John Wesley. He goes on to say that Tolkien did not influence his own work, but changes his mind as he writes: 'I don't care for Magic and don't resort to it at all... I can't think of any respect in which Tolkien has influenced me. Afterthought. What about "The Girl in a Swing?" Supernatural. M.R. James?'. Adams expresses his disappointment that there are only two female characters in "Lord of the Rings" - Galadriel and Eowen - neither of whom, he says, exactly represent real Womanhood: '(I'm sure that Women's Lib. don't care for the overwhelmingly masculine tone of the conflict and the characterisation.) "Ask Germaine Greer?" (And "Watership Down" has been criticised for this. But the whole W.D. story hinges on the necessity of the female to a true society.)' Adams concludes that his feelings about "Lord of the Rings" echo Dr. Johnson's about "Paradise Lost": '"No man ever wished it longer"'. (3)
Lot 497
Tolkien (J.R.R.). The Hobbit, 2nd ed. (5th impression), Allen & Unwin, 1951, col. frontis., b & w illusts., map endpapers foxed, Foyles ticket and contemp. ms. name to front pastedown, neat ms. name to prelim. blank, sl. staining to top edges, orig. cloth, cocked, extrems sl. rubbed, small faint mark to upper cover, 8vo. An important edition, with substantial revisions by Tolkien. As Tolkien was writing his sequel to 'The Hobbit', 'Lord of the Rings', he became aware of inconsistencies in the character of Gollum. The original Gollum was less crazed and degraded by his association with the Ring, and slightly at odds, Tolkien felt, with his subsequent desperation and obsession with the Ring in 'Lord of the Rings'. As a result, Tolkien substantially revised Chapter 5, and these revisions were incorporated into the new edition of 1951. (1)
