Wayne G. Hammond & Christina Scull – Tolkien Collection Quantified

Por |julio 29th, 2019|

Every so often,

we become curious

about how many books

we have in our library.

Not too many, no! But if asked,

how many should we say (besides ‘a lot’)?

Wayne once made an estimate,

based on the total linear feet of our shelves

multiplied by the average number

of volumes per shelf,

and came up with a figure close to…

R – Renée Vink – Wagner and Tolkien: Mythmakers

Por |junio 7th, 2019|

«Both Rings were round

and there the resemblance ceases»,

wrote J.R.R. Tolkien

about the rings in his epic

The Lord of the Rings 

and Richard Wagner’s opera cycle

The Ring of the Nibelung.

Or did he?

The answer

is not as straightforward

as many Tolkien fans believe,

whether they agree with the statement

or consider it misguided.

Nor is the statement itself

as transparently defensive

as some Wagner buffs suggest.

Tolkien’s Spanish Connection

We’ve just written a review of a useful book by José Manuel Ferrández Bru, “Uncle Curro”: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Spanish Connection.

The ‘connection’ is Father Francis Xavier Morgan, the Catholic priest who acted as guardian to Ronald and Hilary Tolkien after the death of their mother in 1904. […]

John C. Wright – Oo, Those Awful Orcs !

Por |diciembre 18th, 2017|

<<<

It is with the same disquiet

that one might feel stepping into a cold morgue,

where a body killed after continuous pain

from some deadly nerve gas he inhaled on purpose

might be seen laying on a steel slab,

to reread the words of the dismissive review by Edmund Wilson

on what history has since decreed unambiguously

to be the best novel of the modern era.

The kind reader may well wonder why any time or effort should be spent

on dissecting a review over half a century old, worthy of no attention and no memory.

That we must answer only after reading the review itself.
