So great is the care lavished on the volume that it seems almost ungenerous to find fault with it. And indeed most ordinary concerns—cavils about the proportionate length of the historical essay, or whether its information might have been more effectively communicated in endnotes—can and should be passed lightly over. One niggling doubt, however, refuses to be so quieted. In brief: Tolkien had said that “machine-worship” was the original heart of his tale. Alas, with the exception of Chris Smith’s introductory “Publisher’s Note” (as excellent as it is brief), the volume’s abundant critical commentary fails to do full justice to this theme, and indeed scarcely acknowledges it. Thus, while we hear a great deal about A. D. Godley’s satirical poem on the “Motor Bus” in Christopher Tolkien’s introduction, and a great deal more about the history of Oxonian traffic policy in the essay by Ovenden, we get precious little about this central theme from either one.
