Resumo: This article discusses how the image of the world as a wasteland is used by J. R. R. Tolkien in his The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit to comment on the damage caused by WWI. In it, it is argued that although such image is present in the works of other writers of the same period, such as T. S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf, different ideas are being underscored: while the works of Eliot and Woolf are marked by feelings of fragmentation and alienation, Tolkien's narrative argues for the importance of fellowship during times of great turmoil. By relying on Theresa Nicolay's scholarship, this work debates how these authors use different techniques to address similar problems.
