Perhaps because British actors are better at "costume dramas" than American ones?

Or, in the case of LOTR, because JRRT was British his language sounds better with a British accent?

(Of course, there is no such thing as a "British" accent; people in the Thames Valley don't speak the same way as people in Yorkshire do, and neither speaks the way Scots or Welsh do. And even within Scotland, Glasgow and Edenborough sound very different.)

I've been reading A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1)

by George R.R. Martin



I thought you might be interested in my review:



  "The Tudors go to Middle Earth. Book One of A Tale of Ice and Fire, a nine
volume fantasy saga (of which four remain to be written), it describes the
twisting alliances of the noble houses of Westeros, and their foes, human
and inhuman. It's a fantasy world, apparently a big hit on Cable TV in the
US, although not available over here except as pirate downloads from dodgy
operators in the Balkans.

Not all the books in the saga have been published yet, but I'm hooked
already, and just bought Book 2...

Martin views the world through the eyes of each of his characters in turn so
there are no heroes, no villains. Something of a soap opera - it is a long,
complex tale that could be history, but for the occasional dragon to remind
you that you are not in Kansas any more.

It isn't Tolkien, but then what is these days? "

I agree about the plate spinning. And this spinner keeps adding poles and plates on top of existing plates!

I'm not sure how far in you are so I don't want to give anything away but I'm reminded of the idea Darwin got from Malthus when formulating Natural Selection: More offspring are produced than can possibly survive.

#19528

From: "Jack" <jack@...>
Date: Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:52 pm
Subject: Review - Kalevala: the Epic Poem of Finland

Supposedly an inspiration for Tolkien's sagas of Middle Earth (the tale of
Turin Turambar.at least), Sibelius and surely also for Longfellow's
Hiawatha:

Thus spake reckless Lemminkainen

Hast thou seen the tumti tumti?

Tumtitumti tumtitumti

Tumtitumti tumtitumti



Yes said ancient Wainamoinen

Long I journeyed for to find it

Dawn to dusk and then another

Then the third day found the tumti

In Wainola's silver forests

There I saw the tumtitumti

Tumtitumti tumtitumti



It's easy to tease, but still worth a look.

The Finnish names are a bit challenging to the anglophone ear - Wainamoinen,
Lemminkainen Kaukomieli, Kyllikki - but if you can cope with Treebeard's
Orofarne, Lassemista, Carnimirie, you should manage okay.  In fact, if you
are familiar with Quenya (the language of Tolkien's High Elves) then the
Finnish will seem strangely familiar.

It's a long, long poem - it must be quite something to be able to recite it
from memory.  I'm sure there are still Finns who do, just as Scots learn Tam
O'Shanter off by heart and for much the same reasons.

Kalevala is the Finnish heartland; at the time when the poem was collected
from the oral tradition and translated into English, Finland was a duchy in
the north east of Imperial Russia, and much of the land still lies in Russia
since the ill-fated Winter War of 1940.  (You may have missed it with so
much else going on at the time).
