[no US edition.] During the past decade or so there has been something of a fashion for issuing standalone editions of J.R.R. Tolkien’s shorter works, usually accompanied by Tolkien’s notes, drafts, and/or associated writings, as well as a critical introduction and commentary. Many of these—from Smith of Wootton Major in 2005 to last year’s The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun—have dealt with Tolkien’s fiction, but his academic works have not been wholly neglected.

Gorelick [email protected] (305) 348-4100 DM 233 *The instructor welcomes and encourages students to utilize office hours by appointment. Required Texts Students will be responsible for reading the following works by J.R.R. Tolkien: The poem, “Mythopoëia,” to be provided by the instructor. The essay, “On Faërie-Stories,” and the short story, “Leaf by Niggle”, in The Tolkien Reader (Del Rey, 1986) | ISBN 9780345345066 The short story, “Smith of Wootton Major”, in Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham (Del Rey, 1986) | ISBN 9780345336064 The Silmarillion (Del Rey, 1985) | ISBN 9780345325815 The Hobbit (Del Rey, 2012) | ISBN 9780345538376 (This ISBN is for the four-book boxed edition containing The Lord of the Rings. Since students will need The Lord of the Rings for the spring semester, purchasing the boxed set now would be economical. However, in the instructor’s opinion, it is preferable to read a one-volume version of The Lord of the Ring than to read it in three separate volumes, which would mean buying a freestanding copy of The Hobbit for the fall.) PLEASE NOTE: any editions of these works by Tolkien are acceptable. The instructor does not recommend renting or selling back these gems. Students will be expected to reference them as needed during the spring semester.

Danielson: Re-reading the Map of Middle-earth Introduction In Chapter 1 of The Hobbit, we learn of our protagonist Bilbo Baggins that “He loved maps, and in his hall there hung a large one of the Country Round with all his favourite walks marked on it in red ink” (Tolkien 1966, p. 32-33). Some decades later, Bilbo's distant cousin Pippin laments his failure to have fully consulted the maps available in Rivendell before the Fellowship departed on its long journey (Tolkien 1965a, p. 370). From a handful of references such as these, we know that cartography existed in Middle-earth, and indeed that it was considered a perfectly ordinary and sensible thing to look at a map to find one's way.
