In an ideal world authors and publishers should always act in partnership. This certainly happened between Professor Tolkien and George Allen & Unwin, but in some respects, the speaker explains, the collaboration had very unusual features.

    The Hobbit by J.R.R

    Discussion Guide THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. Tolkien Rhymes Professor Tolkien was deeply interested in words, their meanings, and the ways they could be used. He loved rhymes, riddles, proverbs, sayings, songs, folktales, and stories. The reader will notice Tolkien’s use of verse in telling us about his characters. For example, here is a verse from a goblin song: Clap! Snap! The black crack! Grip, grab! Pinch, nab! And down, down to Goblin-town You go, my lad! Do they sound jolly and friendly? Hardly! Here’s an elf song: O! Will you be staying About the Book Your ponies are straying!

But they were, neverthe- To our tune less, the beginning of one of the most famous fantasy ha! ha! adventure tales ever written. The professor was J.R.R.

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.

    Tolkien Anniversaries One Day Symposium, Wednesday, May 10

    Tolkien Anniversaries One day symposium, Wednesday, May 10, 2017, 1-5 p.m., Western Michigan University Library 1-1:30 p.m. Kristine Larsen, Ragnarok and the Rekindling oF the Magic Sun One of the central aspects of the marring of Arda by Melkor in The Silmarillion is the death of the Two Trees and the subsequent fashioning of the lesser (imperfect) lights of the sun and moon from their last fruit and flower. The story of how the sun and moon were placed into the sky and driven by a female and male (respectively) Maia dates back to The Book of Lost Tales, and persists through the various revisions of the legendarium as late as the completion of The Lord of the Rings. While the concept of the sun as female and the moon as male may appear to counter the standard in Western mythology, it is, in fact, in line with many European mythologies, including Germanic, Norse, and Finnish. It is worthy of note that as the Silmarillion texts evolved, Tolkien apparently increased the power of this female character, explaining that Melkor dared not to attack the driver of the sun, Arien, not only fearing her brilliance but lacking the power to assail her. This is an interesting change from the original story of Urwendi, she who steers the sun vessel in The Book of Lost Tales, who is attacked by Melkor and killed. The so-called “Rekindling of the Magic Sun” foretold at the end of time was to include both the restoration of the Trees (and their perfect light) and as well as some unexplained rebirth of Urwendi.
