Now, with the publication of The Bovadium Fragments, we have J. R. R. Tolkien’s full entry into the conversation. That Tolkien was skeptical of the motor car is of course nothing new, and most careful readers of Tolkien are familiar with his occasional but cutting commentary on the subject: from the denunciation of the “‘infernal combustion engine” in his letters to the description of “mass-production robot factories, and the roar of self-obstructive mechanical traffic” in On Fairy-stories. Few outside of Tolkien’s most dedicated students, however, were aware that he had written an entire satirical story against the automobile. For those few, however, Bovadium was something of a white whale in the Tolkien corpus. First referenced in Clyde Kilby’s 1976 Tolkien and the Silmarillion and briefly outlined in Hammond and Scull’s authoritative Companion and Guide, Bovadium is (or rather was) the last significant piece of original Tolkien fiction to remain unpublished. It is difficult to overstate its value for the serious student of Tolkien. In the first place, the volume is outstanding among the recent publications from the Tolkien estate, which have tended to re-present materials already published elsewhere. Even more importantly, it gives us another witness to Tolkien’s original creative work in the years following the publication of The Lord of the Rings. For generations, Tolkien’s readers had only one tale (Smith of Wootton Major) from the latter period of Tolkien’s life. Now, with Bovadium, they have two.
