ghost: "Tolkien'in Eddalar ve Beowulf'tan esinlenişi üzerine:": Tolkien'in Eddalar ve Beowulf'tan esinlenişi üzerine: It may be disappointing to some that not all of Tolkien's creation is "original," but it must be remembered that the insistence on originality and the fear of plagiarism is quite modern. Medieval literature depended upon the recasting of existing works to suit the redactor's purpose and taste. Tolkien's use of sources like the Eddas and Beowulf is within that tradition, and it proves the importance of appropriation as a cultural continuum that preserves and transmits the beauty, values and ideas of our predecessors. And, of course, Tolkien blends those elements with his own into a work of unique genius.
