Oxford Readings in Menander, Plautus, and Terence
I haven't finished The Hobbit and The Silmarillion sections yet because I was looking specifically for information on LOTR, but this book is SO COOL and very informative if you're interested in Tolkien and Medieval literature, or if you're just interested in Tolkien's influences in general!! I originally bought it to use as a source for a paper, but I think it's really essential for any Tolkien lover. It provides all the information necessary to understand all references, given you have access to the full text of LOTR, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. It even gives the original and translated text of sources, which is a huge bonus for me. Really digestible and a great starting point for studying Tolkien's medieval influences!!
