Still, his righteous anger was double-edged. Tolkien was a Christian and a medievalist whose passion for all things Norse inflects his fiction. In a 1941 letter to his son, Tolkien described his "burning private grudge . . . against that ruddy little ignoramus Hitler." Why? For "ruining, perverting, misapplying and making forever accursed that noble, northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved and tried to present in its true light."
