Tolkien, Enchantment, and Loss: Steps on the Developmental Journey is a book by psychoanalist John Rosegrant, a member of the Mythopoeic Society, studying recovery from mental and emotional hardship. Published by The Kent State University Press in December 2021, it argues that Tolkien's fantasy writing inclinations were strongly sourced in his experiences in World War I.
- "A unique perspective on the interrelationship between Tolkien’s life and art, well argued, convincing, and beautifully written. Many scholars in the field will welcome this work."
- —Janet Brennan Croft
- "Focusing on the themes of enchantment and loss in the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, this unique study incorporates elements of developmental psychology to explore both Tolkien’s life and art, deepening our understanding of the interrelationship between his biography and writing."
