This is unfortunate in more ways than one. Not only does it blur the clear lines of Bovadium—it also makes it more difficult to appreciate the story in the larger context of Tolkien’s thought. After all, for Tolkien, the Machine was very nearly the thing. It is there in his earliest attempts at his Legendarium (in which he imagines dragons, not as serpentine beasts, but animate war-machines); it is there in The Hobbit, whose slothful and efficient goblins are spiritual kin to Bovadium’s demon (they are responsible for “some of the machines that have since troubled the world, especially the ingenious devices for killing large numbers of people at once, for wheels and engines and explosions always delighted them”). It is there, repeatedly, throughout The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion: as Tolkien himself said, “all this stuff is mainly concerned with Fall, Mortality, and the Machine.” And it is here that we find Tolkien’s most pressing relevance for the twenty-first century. Will his readers find a way to live humane and God-fearing lives in an alarmingly technocratic age, or will the Daemon and the Machine triumph? Has the Long Defeat come at last? As Chris Smith notes in his publisher’s preface, Bovadium’s “themes remain both provocative and timely.” And so they do: would that the volume had presented them more thoughtfully.
