Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #75.<\/p>\n

* In the latest VII: Journal of the Marion E. Wade Center<\/a><\/em> (June 2022)…<\/p>\n

   – Tolkien as Allegory: A Study in “Smith of Wooton Major” ($)<\/p>\n

   – Tolkien, and the Power of Allusion in “Leaf by Niggle” ($)<\/p>\n

   – Review of Tolkien & The Classical World<\/em> (open access)<\/p>\n

   – Review of Law, Government, and Society in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works<\/em> (open access)<\/p>\n

* A PhD thesis for Oxford Brookes University, Making Worlds Collide: Using Tolkien\u2019s Fantasy Literature to Create a New Leadership Development Framework<\/a><\/em> (2020). Includes sections on “The Biographical Context of Tolkien\u2019s Leadership Writing”, and “Tolkien’s Possible Implicit Leadership Beliefs”. Freely available online.<\/p>\n

* In Spanish, Vision ambiental del hogar en la obra Britanica La Comunidad del Anillo de J.R.R. Tolkien<\/a><\/em> (2023, short trans. ‘Visions of a natural home in The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em>‘). Suggests that The Shire as depicted in Fellowship<\/em> offers a… “concept of home, in which … nature is not placed in a separate and artificial space, but on the same level as the protagonists of the stories.”<\/p>\n

* In the city of York, at the annual Ridings of Yorkshire Society Conference 2023<\/a> in June, “a talk by Tolkien & the East Riding expert Michael Flowers”. Elsewhere, this is clarified as “speaking on Tolkien and the East Riding”.<\/p>\n

* David Bratman takes a look at the remarkable family history of R. W. Reynolds<\/a>. Reynolds was one of Tolkien’s most influential school teachers in the city of Birmingham (“Mr. R. W. Reynolds, King Edward’s School, Birmingham”), and someone whose opinion on literary matters Tolkien continued to value more than a decade later. It was for Reynolds that Tolkien wrote the ‘Sketch of the Mythology’ (1926-30).<\/p>\n

* And finally, a new Visual Collecting Guide<\/a> to “non-Tolkien Books with Tolkien Content”. The most impressive cover is the Winter’s Tales for Children 1<\/em> (1965), the start of a four-book series, to which Tolkien kindly contributed the previously unpublished “The Dragon’s Visit”. Not on Archive.org.<\/p>\n
