J.R.R. Tolkien (b. January 3rd, 1892 in Bloemfontain, South Africa--d. September 2nd, 1973) was an English author and poet most famous for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is also the author of The Hobbit and a literary criticism of Beowulf entitled Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics as well as several children's books. Tolkien had a keen interest in linguistics, which he studied in university, and his passion for language comes through in many of his works, particularly the invented language of Elvish in the Lord of the Rings triology. He was ranked by Forbes as the 5th highest-earning dead celebrity in 2009.
