The Lord of the Rings 1954-2004: Scholarship in Honor of Richard E. Blackwelder - Hardcover
Synopsis
Hammond (rare books librarian at Williams College, US) and Scull (former librarian of Sir John Soane's Museum, UK) present the 20 papers presented at the eponymous Marquette University Tolkien conference, held in October of 2004 in honor of the late entomologist and zoologist turned J.R.R. Tolkien scholar, Richard Blackwelder, whose collecting activities provided the foundation of Marquette University's Tolkein collection. About half of the papers focus on Tolkien's major work, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, while the others discuss other topics, including the rhetorical evolution of Tolkein's essay on Beowulf, Tolkien as a linguist, the role of Tolkien in education, and special collections in the service of Tolkien studies.
