         the broad themes and motifs which concerned both authors.
         They seek to uncover Shakespeare's influence on Tolkien
         through echoes of the playwright's themes and even word
         choices, discovering how Tolkien used, revised, updated,
         "corrected," and otherwise held an ongoing dialogue with
         Shakespeare's works"--Provided by publisher.
