Tolkien Gleanings<\/a> #345<\/p>\n

* A new issue of Mythlore<\/a><\/em>, Vol. 44, No. 1 (2025) is now available. Includes, among others… “Tolkien on Kennings and the River-(woman\u2019s) Daughter” and “Fathoming the Mathom-house: Museums and Material Heritage in Tolkien\u2019s Legendarium”, plus book reviews including a review of Germanic Heroes, Courage, and Fate: Northern Narratives of J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Legendarium<\/em>. Freely available online. <\/p>\n

* The contents are now known for Tolkien’s Medievalism in Ruins: The Function of Relics and Ruins in Middle-earth<\/em>, due out later this week as an expensive academic book. Non-videogame chapter titles include, among others… “Ruins of Past Tongues: Tolkien’s Timeless Philology”; “‘What do you Elf eyes see?’ Perceiving Ruin in Middle-earth”; and “The Blade of the King: Tolkien, Arthur, and the Remnants of Kingship”.<\/p>\n

* The Tolkien Collector’s Guide<\/em> reviews The Bovadium Fragments<\/em><\/a>. One aspect of the book I wasn’t aware of is that… “there are excerpts from and mentions of various letters”, presumably letters of relevance to Tolkien’s theme.<\/p>\n

* In Italian, a new one-hour and very echo-ey recording<\/a> of a live event featuring the President of the Italian Association of Tolkien Studies in conversation with Paolo Nardi.<\/p>\n

* The young Tolkien in “Battle”<\/a>, a new picture by Gnome-the-artist on DeviantArt.<\/p>\n

* The 45th Lustrumfeest<\/a>, to be held in the Netherlands in June 2026. The guest of honour is to be the founder of the German Tolkien Society.<\/p>\n

* And finally, an American-style cartographic map of Western Middle Earth in the Fourth Age<\/a>. A larger version is freely available online, but sadly it’s still not large enough to read the smaller labels.<\/p>\n
