  Abstract: This is a supplement to the 19th issue of Tolkien Studies, the first refereed journal solely devoted to the scholarly study of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Our grateful thanks go to Mr. Hicklin for giving us the opportunity to add to the ... Read More

  Abstract: Page 10 of the Chronology (MSS-4/2/18/5b).Tolkien wrote to Naomi Mitchison in 1954, “I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit (generally with meticulous care for distances).

Sunrise, moonrise, star time are meticulously noted and tracked. Breakfast-time ... Read More
