The long piece

that follows here

is my talk at Oxonmoot 2021.

Oxonmoot is the Tolkien Society’s

annual convention that includes

academic presentations, fan activities, etc.

That year, I was asked to talk

about Tolkien’s Unfinished Tales,

which had just reached its 40th anniversary.

The talk was recorded and is also available to watch here

(with some preamble that is not included in the formal talk),

but this is the first time I am sharing the full written text.
