This essay examines the potential influence exerted on the author of The Lord of the Rings by Geoffrey of Monmouth, the 12th-century writer who first organized and popularized the diverse body of stories and legends that gave rise to the figure of Arthur. The study begins by analyzing several parallels in the authors' biographies, then moves on to consider echoes of Geoffrey’s work in Tolkien’s Arthurian production, finally extending its scope to the Oxford professor's entire legendarium.
