Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #92.<\/p>\n

* Sean Grundy’s 55-minute afternoon radio-play “Tolkien in Love” (2017), now newly on YouTube<\/a>. I see that it’s also on Archive.org<\/a> in .MP3, uploaded a year ago.<\/p>\n

* New in The European Conservative<\/em>, and freely available online, the long and learned article “Tolkien\u2019s True Love”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* Even more ruins! Tolkien’s Medievalism in Ruins II<\/a> (yes, II) calls for papers on ruins in either the wider Legendarium or in movie adaptations. Amusingly, partly organised by the appropriately named “Slippery Rock University”. Deadline: 30th September 2023.<\/p>\n

* Registration is still open for Franciscan University’s conference on Tolkien<\/a>… titled “A Long-Expected Party: A Semicentennial Celebration of Tolkien\u2019s Life, Works and Afterlife, the conference will focus on all aspects of Tolkien’s life and work, including his most recent posthumous publications”. 22nd-23rd September 2023, near the city of Pittsburgh, USA. Notes, with some justification, that… “2023 is a significant turning point in Tolkien studies because the generation of scholars that truly knew him is entering retirement”. But also wrongly assumes that there is therefore a dearth of scholarship. The organisers either haven’t been looking, or have only looked at certain pay-walled academic databases, or they need to be more specific and say that there should be more explicitly religious<\/em> scholarship.<\/p>\n

* And finally, some details of a film and stage play titled Tolkien and Lewis: An Unlikely Friendship<\/a><\/em>, with both projects pencilled in for a “2026” release. Presumably not to be confused with the forthcoming five-part Web series that was filming and VFX-ing in the UK recently, The Forge of Friendship: J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis<\/em> (shooting title ‘Fellowship: Tolkien & Lewis’).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
