Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #162.<\/p>\n

* New on Archive.org, a long outline of the Critical Response to Tolkien\u2019s Fiction<\/a> over the decades. Such as it was, since many pre-2000s critics seem to have either not read LoTR<\/em> at all, to have hardly read it, or to have misunderstood what little they did read.<\/p>\n

* The Tea With Tolkien<\/em> blog has a Live Q&A with Dr. Holly Ordway<\/a>, author of the new book Tolkien’s Faith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

* In the USA, Ball State University announces<\/a>… <\/p>\n

“a new exhibit [to] showcase material from the Deborah and Fritz Dolak J.R.R. Tolkien Collection, which was donated to University Libraries Archives and Special Collections in 2013. [This will include the display of a] fantasy map project [undertaken by students] in the spring of 2023”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* The J.R.R. Tolkien Manuscripts: Public Showings 2024<\/a> at Marquette University in the USA. Two dates, booking now.<\/p>\n

* The Imaginative Conservative<\/em> examines “C.S. Lewis on the Existence of Fairies”<\/a>…<\/p>\n

“Lewis concludes his outline of the medieval theories about fairies: “Such were the efforts to find a socket into which the Fairies would fit. No agreement was achieved. As long as the Fairies remained at all they remained elusive.””<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Tolkien and Fantasy<\/em> looks for Fairy-tale Versions of Beowulf<\/em><\/a> and discovers two partial re-tellings of Beowulf<\/em> in an unlikely place, Andrew Lang’s anthology The Red Book of Animal Stories<\/a><\/em> (1899).<\/p>\n

* A call-for-papers for a 2024 Canadian university conference on The Christian Legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien<\/a>, which is set for 27th-28th September 2024.<\/p>\n

* And finally, Hobbit vinyl unearthed in Malvern<\/a>, which then sold at auction for an unearthly price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
