Early life and education Edit

John D. Rateliff was raised in Magnolia, Arkansas.[2] He moved to Wisconsin in 1981 to study Tolkien's manuscripts at Marquette University.[3] Rateliff is an expert in Tolkien studies,[4] and he earned a Ph.D in 20th-century British literature from Marquette.[5][6]

Career Edit

Rateliff has helped organize several major conferences on Tolkien.[7] He contributed essays to Tolkien's Legendarium: Essays on The History of Middle-earth (2000) and to a volume marking the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Lord of the Rings, and edited The History of The Hobbit (HarperCollins, 2007), an edition of the drafting of Tolkien's The Hobbit with extensive commentary.[7] Having written his dissertation on Lord Dunsany, Rateliff likes to describe his degree as "a Ph.D in fantasy."[7]

He worked for the game companies TSR, Wizards of the Coast, and Hasbro for a number of years, contributing to a large number of products in the Dungeons & Dragons line.[8][9] In addition he worked as a freelancer for several other companies.[2]
