UK student Emma Dollard read Lord of the Rings when she was 14 years old but it was the movies that really re-awoke her interest in Tolkien. Emma has now completed her PhD in which she studied Lord of the Rings (books and movies) in relation to appropriation, “the notion of outside influences being an integral part of the creative process”. You can read the full story here.
