Thomas Honegger

Thomas Honegger (born 1965) is a scholar of literature, known especially for his studies of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.

He took his PhD in 1996 on the subject of "Animals in Medieval English Literature".

[2] Harley Sims, reviewing Tolkien in Translation, notes that few topics are more interesting or more divisive.

He comments that "one might say that translation is Tolkien, and that no analysis of his work can pretend to be complete without some exegesis of his actual wording.

"[3] Finding the book a good introduction to its subject's theory and practice, and making both the cultural and literary aspects accessible, Sims commends Honegger and the publishers for assembling "specialists in five languages".
