Some speakers reach out to all their audience – Verlyn Flieger draws us in to an almost intimate space. She is truly a wonderful speaker as well as an extraordinary Tolkien scholar.

There's a break in the Christopher #Tolkien Centenary Conference, and our tea isn't quite ready yet ... so of course I spend the time reading in Shippey's “The Road to Middle-earth” ... I mean ... what else? 😂

Wonderfully close reading of Christopher Tolkien's comments on "The Lay of Leithian" in "The Lays of Beleriand" highlighting CJRT as a reader of his father's work.
A consideration of the individual words worthy of the Tolkiens.

As my friend @EndOfThePier says, rectangular Christmas gifts are easier to pack! The paperbacks of both my #Tolkien, Race and Cultural History, and Imagining the Celtic Past in Modern Fantasy are at around £20 from various outlets for the next 10 days or so! (Links below) 🎄📚

I found Sonali's paper quite interesting, but also at times rather difficult to follow (talking fast about complex matters in a dense presentation). I hope this one will be uploaded to allow listening at a more personalised pace (read, slower for the slower minded 😅)
The third paper today is "Lost Tales and Found Myths: Christopher Tolkien on the ‘Mythology for England’" by Sonali Chunodkar. #ChristopherTolkienCentenaryConference online (via Zoom)
