Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #184.<\/p>\n

* A call for articles on ‘Fantasy flora \/ Flore imaginaire’<\/a>, for a forthcoming special issue of the journal Fantasy Art and Studies<\/em>. Deadline: 10th June 2024.<\/p>\n

* Another sort of call. “We\u2019d like to create the first graphic-novel biography on his life that features his Catholic faith.” Crowdfunding now<\/a>, with a $23,000 goal.<\/p>\n

* The latest issue of St. Austin Review<\/a><\/em> (March\/April 2024) is a themed issue on ‘The Victorian Age in Literature’. Note the one-page article “Frodo Baggins: A Dickensian Hero”. Not freely online.<\/p>\n

* The Federalist<\/em> magazine has a new podcast discussing “Tolkien’s Warning”<\/a>… his “writings and warnings about power apply today”.<\/p>\n

* New on YouTube, a recording of Tolkien Colloquium 2024: Emotions in Middle-earth<\/a>. In English, with five presentations.<\/p>\n

* New on YouTube, a recording of Conferenza: Tolkien e il gioco<\/a> (‘Tolkien and the game’). In Italian. I can’t find more about the event, but skimming YouTube’s auto-translation subtitles suggests it’s about tabletop role-playing games.<\/p>\n

* The March 2024 Update<\/a> for the Digital Tolkien Project.<\/p>\n

* And finally, in last week’s Country Life<\/em> magazine, “The very nature of Middle-earth”<\/a>, an article loosely woven around the Malvern Hills<\/a> and Tolkien. The article is now online in full, at least in the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
