It comprises papers that focus on four broad themes: love, time, heroism, and style. Although one could argue that these topics have been present since the beginning of literature, though sometimes temporarily submerged, it is with the cataclysm of World War I and the entry of Einstein's Theory of Relativity into the public consciousness - two events that shook the very foundations of pre-modern society - that they gained a new and immediate relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walking Tree Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612994912407,"sku":"9783905703030","price":2274.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783905703030.webp?v=1775081832","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tolkien-and-modernity-2-9783905703030","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
