The Individuated Hobbit

The Individuated Hobbit: Jung, Tolkien, and the Archetypes of Middle-Earth (1979) is a critical study of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien by Timothy R. O'Neill. It is written from a Jungian perspective, with particular emphasis on Jungian archetypes.

Reception

The book was called "a compelling and influential Jungian reading" (2013) by Christopher Vaccaro, editor of The Body in Tolkien's Legendarium.[1]

The Tolkien scholar Thomas Honegger called it "the unsurpassed standard work on the subject" (2019).[2]
