* Now online, the YouTube recording from the recent UK event “Celebrating 70 years since J.R.R. Tolkien’s Sir Gawain<\/em> lecture in Glasgow (1953-2023)”<\/a>. The first of the three talks starts at 20:00 minutes in.<\/p>\n

* I see that Cambridge University Press published two new books, just before Christmas 2022. One offers chapters which survey various modern epics, Epic Ambitions in Modern Times<\/a><\/em> and this has a chapter on Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings<\/em> and Silmarillion<\/em>. The other is Cultural Legacies of Old Norse Literature<\/a><\/em>, though snippets suggest only one chapter (by Geeraert) might<\/em> perhaps have something to say about Tolkien. Both books are paywalled, though both have Kindle ebooks that are far cheaper than otherwise.<\/p>\n

* Now available, the first issue of the new open-access journal The Incredible Nineteenth Century: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale<\/a><\/em>. Two articles, plus many book reviews.<\/p>\n

* A new Masters dissertation in Philosophy, Lord of the Meaning: An Examination of Interpretive Theories<\/a><\/em> (2023), which revolves around the idea of allegory-hunting in The Lord of the Rings<\/em>. Freely online at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.<\/p>\n

* And finally, new to me (thanks to a new listing on da.font) are the Middle-earth Fonts by Nancy Lorenz<\/a>. These have freely-given permission for commercial use.<\/p>\n
