Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #81.<\/p>\n

* A new Inklings Variety Hour<\/em> podcast interview, “Michael Drout: The Liberal Arts and Beowulf”<\/em><\/a>. Starts at 6:40 minutes.<\/p>\n

* New on YouTube, “Charles Coulombe on Kingship and Tolkien”<\/a>… “Daniel Cote Davies speaks to Charles Coulombe, the American Catholic author and historian, on the topic of kingship, as well as J.R.R. Tolkien’s own interpretation of the topic.”<\/p>\n

* Kent State University Press now has a page and a date for the forthcoming book Pity, Power, and Tolkien\u2019s Ring<\/a><\/em>… “Thomas P. Hillman gets to the heart of the tension between pity and the desire for power” in LoTR<\/em>. The $40 book is currently due December 2023. <\/p>\n

* New on John Garth’s site, an article on “The mood music of G.B. Smith, T.C.B.S.”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* New on Archive.org, to borrow, The Ring Goes Ever On: Proceedings of the Tolkien 2005 Conference<\/a><\/em> (2008). The conference was held in Birmingham in 2005. Archive.org only has “Volume One”, although even that is a table-trembling 434 pages. Appears to be well out-of-print, with only one paper copy on Amazon (used at \u00a385).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

* And finally, a rare Twitter-trawl reveals… the usual utter piffle. But also something of the latest Amon Hen<\/em> #301, the publication from the Tolkien Society. It has a ‘centrefold’, no less. In the form of a 1960s-style Frodo Baggins cut-out paper-doll. Yes, really, in a two-page colour spread. I’ll spare you the picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
