Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #243<\/p>\n

* New on YouTube, leading Tolkien scholar Verlyn Flieger on “70 Years of Reading Tolkien”<\/a>. Freely available online.<\/p>\n

* The Bodleian now has a Web page for the event Christopher Tolkien at 100: a celebration<\/a>. Free and booking now.<\/p>\n

* The latest issue of Journal of Tolkien Research<\/a><\/em> is not a rolling one, but rather a fully-filled issue on “J.R.R. Tolkien and Medieval Poets” in honor of Richard C. West. As well as the articles there is also a two-page biography and an appreciation of West, plus a “Selected Bibliography of Publications by Richard C. West about J.R.R. Tolkien”. Freely available online.<\/p>\n

* In case you missed it, the last article to be added to the previous rolling Journal of Tolkien Research<\/em> was “Rimmo nin Bruinen dan in Ulaer!: Waters of Wisdom and Wonder in Tolkien\u2019s The Fellowship of the Ring”<\/em><\/a>… <\/p>\n

“Although environmental themes in Tolkien’s works have been widely researched, the specific role of water in Elven realms — and its possible Celtic cultural connotations — remains largely overlooked.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* More previously-paywalled lectures on Tolkien<\/a> by Rachel Fulton-Brown<\/a> are now freely on YouTube or will be there shortly. Among these are A Taste for Tongues; Ichor and Potatoes; The Ent in the Moon; Through a Glass Darkly; and Magic Words.<\/p>\n

* The 2025 C.S. Lewis Summer Institute<\/a> now has speaker and artist details. The July conference in Northern Ireland is themed ‘Returning Home: C.S. Lewis, Roots, & Transformation’.<\/p>\n

* The Case for Reading Tolkien at All Levels of Catholic Education<\/a> is an event set for 4th January 2025, among sumptuous-looking surroundings in Pasadena, California. Speakers include Holly Ordway.<\/p>\n

* And finally, Pipe Smokers Den<\/em> snaps some relics of Lewis and Tolkien at Wheaton College<\/a>, including Lewis’s tobacco pipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
