Translating and Illustrating Tolkien -

J.R.R. Tolkien's works have gained global appeal, leading to translations in over thirty languages and a host of stylistically unique illustrations. As a translator and illustrator himself, Tolkien was acutely aware of the challenges and benefits that both bring to a written text. Translating and Illustrating Tolkien explores what these processes add to, emit from, or complement Tolkien's original text. Hosted online, the Tolkien Society 2021 autumn seminar concluded the year's trilogy of seminars, collectively welcoming over 1600 people from across the globe. Published under the auspices of the Society's Peter Roe Memorial Fund, this proceedings features a collection of six papers delivered at the Tolkien Society 2021 Autumn seminar.
