It is also a rich text for those studying film and media, perhaps for the first time. \u003ci\u003eStudying \u003c\/i\u003eThe Lord of the Rings is the first book to consider the films in these terms, looking in turn at each of the major concepts: their complex origins and narrative structure; issues of representation masculinity, femininity and race; their generic patterns (to which genre do the films belong?) and thematic concerns; their industrial context from theatrical release to DVD extended editions; film language fusing classical mise-en-sc�ne with cutting-edge technological practice.
