  • The Lord of the Rings: the Tale of a Text by Pat Reynolds
    The Tolkien Society – Essays www.tolkiensociety.org The Lord of the Rings: The Tale of a Text By Pat Reynolds This paper was first read at the launch of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of The Lord of the Rings, organized by the Società Tolkieniana Italiana at European Parliament, Rome, on Monday 19th January. My paper is very largely based on a 'Note on the Text' written by Douglas Anderson for the one- volume deluxe "collectors'" edition of The Lord of the Rings, published by the Houghton Mifflin Company in 1987 (pages v-viii), and on the detailed commentary by Wayne Hammond in J.R.R. Tolkien: A Descriptive Bibliography. The Tolkien Collector, published by Wayne Hammond and his wife, Christina Scull, has been used extensively for more recent changes. The Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy: by the time it was being prepared for publication in 1950, Tolkien was thinking of it as a duology: a book of two parts, the other being The Silmarillion - a work conceived of as being of equal size to The Lord of the Rings (Letter 126 to Milton Waldon, 10/3/1950). Already, by that time, the text had grown. In October 1937 Tolkien thought he had nothing more to say about hobbits, but by December 19th he had written the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings (Letter 17 to Stanley Unwin, 15/10/1937; Letter 20 to C.A. Furth, 19/12/1937). His subsequent letters are full of hopes that he will finish it off early next year (Letter 47 to Stanley Unwin, 7/12/1942) - 'next year', of course, always being 'next year'.

One early announcement of the journal appeared in Locus in late 1968: It was inevitable that the Mythopoeic Society would start its own journal or fanzine.

Browne, 1836) Éomer’s query in the second chapter of The Two Towers (Lord of the Rings, 434), utilised as the heading for this paper, has been asked in either those or similar words regularly in the eighty years since The Hobbit was published. A question asked almost as frequently is: ‘Where did Tolkien get the word “hobbit” from?’ Meanwhile, Sir Thomas Browne’s 1836 letter was published for the first time in 1933, later in the same year in which Tolkien is believed to have completed his children’s book (Rateliff, xx).

  • Death and Funerary Practices in Middle-Earth by Pat Reynolds
    The Tolkien Society – Essays www.tolkiensociety.org Death and funerary practices in Middle-earth By Pat Reynolds I would like to take you with me on a perilous journey. As readers of Tolkien you will perhaps recall the two types of journey for which he is famed. The first is the hero-quest, as exemplified by Bilbo Baggins in the The Hobbit, and second is the allegorical death journey, most explicitly taken by Niggle in Leaf by Niggle. Death is one of a handful of life experiences which are irrevocable changes. Like birth, it is a one-way ticket. Unlike birth, it usually occurs when the individual has made many links with his or her community. The attitudes and beliefs of that community are reflected in the way they treat the dead: how the body is removed from the community of the living (or maintained within it), the formal opportunities for grief and the proscribed forms which grief may take, and beliefs about what happens to the dead person: does she "go on a journey", or does he "come back to haunt us?" or do they both dispense advice and comfort as revered ancestors? I want to take you on this deathly journey because I am particularly interested in the power that many readers find in Middle-earth. The tributes to Tolkien published in a recent edition of Mythlore (Mythlore 69 pp. 32-48) include No other work can bring the same kind of joy to our lives (Marianne Russell, New York, USA.), and Does any other work of fiction give the reader so overwhelming a feeling of supreme significance in a narrative? (Canon Norman Power, Birmingham, England).

From the Archives of Hildifons Took While working on this project, it is easy to ruminate about its scope and future. It is impossible for this to be a day-by-day (or even year by year) chronicle of Tolkien fandom. Time has erased many small Tolkien societies and clubs of which I’ve never heard. The focus has always been to make this a useful view of Tolkien fandom through the use of printed fanzines and some printed ephemeral material. Additionally, I have decided at this point to limit my efforts to English only material.

Tolkien on Popular Culture By: Michael A. Hall !.D. # 336786211 Originally submitted as Senior History Thesis, May 2004 Resubmitted to the Southern Illinois Honors Program for Senior Honors Thesis requirement, May I, 2005 Michael A. Hall Western culture, to a large extent, is defined by materialism. If anything becomes popular, be it literature, music, or films, we tend to merchandise or make consumer goods based on what is popular because it will sell. This mass culture has been given the rather derogatory term called kitsch.' For example, some people might consider Mozart high art and the Beatles kitsch. However, this contrast is necessarily done by the individual because some people might consider the Beatles to be high art. Another way to put it is that high art is art in its purest form without the influence of capitalism, and materialism and kitsch is what happens after high art becomes popular and merchandised.2 Whether a person has seen the movies or not, it is safe to say that since the first Lord ofthe Rings film came out in December of2001 everyone has heard of the story and its famous author J.R.R.
