Imagemap: Tolkien's influences in creating his Middle-earth books included his profession, philology, studying medieval literature; his religion, Christianity; mythology and archaeology; Old English poetry, especially Beowulf; and his own experience of childhood in the English countryside, and as a soldier in the First World War. Major inputs to his stories were his invented languages, and maps of Middle-earth. His books contained not just prose but poetry and artwork, with clickable links.
