These proceedings celebrate the breadth, knowledge, and passion of the Tolkien scholars who attended Tolkien 2019. It includes sixty-one papers and covers a diverse range of subjects pertaining to Tolkien's life, influences, works, and legacy: Biography; Tolkien's Theoretical and Creative Practices; Mythical, Folkloric, and Literary Traditions; Cities and Environments; Religion, Spirituality, and Faith; Politics and Law; Identity; Art and Music; and Reception, Fandom, and Legacy.
Tolkien 2019 was a five-day conference organised by The Tolkien Society to mark our 50th birthday. Held at Macdonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham, UK between 7th-11th August 2019, it brought together 550 attendees from over 30 countries for a celebration like never before.
In addition to the excellent selection of keynotes and scholars, there were signings, coffee klatches, games, and quizzes, all running alongside an exhibition of the Society's history and a public exhibition of Tolkien art. The festivities continued into the evenings with performances of Leaf by Niggle, songs and poems, and a special concert by a guest orchestra that featured music from fantasy films and TV shows.
Tolkien 2019 was one of the highest ever attended Tolkien-specific events and followed on from the Society's earlier conferences in 2012, 2005, and 1992 which respectively marked special anniversaries for The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and J.R.R. Tolkien's birth.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
