	RTE.ie Entertainment - Tolkien home obtains listed status
		The house where JRR Tolkien wrote 'The Hobbit' and part of 'The Lord of the Rings' is to become a listed building.
		The house, where Tolkien and his family lived from 1930 to 1947, is situated at 20 Northmoor Road, Oxford and was built in 1924.
		Tolkien did his writing in the drawing room of the house.

		Tolkien's innovation was to take epic storytelling a step further: In its scope, detail, and realism, his creation of Middle-earth is a literary achievement that competes with any in world literature.
		Tolkien has spawned a whole international subculture of escapism and fueled a boom in science fiction and fantasy that's now 10 percent of the total trade-book business.
		Freed from fashion, Tolkien wrote his mythology in a "thou" and "lo!" days-of-yore style and didn't worry whether it was seen as high art or bedtime story.

	Tolkien Newsgroups FAQ: Story External Discussions
		The published version was directly inspired by some of Tolkien's drafts of the tale (those which seemed easiest to reconcile with the rest of the story), but was essentially rewritten to be consistent with the rest of the book and to include a few ideas from Tolkien's later writings.
		Tolkien's works draw from quite a few periods of human history, and many aspects of Middle-earth distinctly resemble their real-world counterparts in the Middle Ages.
		And it is notable that Tolkien described Forlong's people of Gondor and even the men of Bree as "swarthy", the same term he used for example of the Southrons who were ambushed by Faramir (though to be fair, he may have imagined different degrees of "swarthiness" for those groups).

	Wheaton College: Faculty focus: Meet Michael Drout, Tolkien scholar and former E-bay user (2001)
		In fact, Drout now shares Tolkien's scholarly interests and field--Medieval literature--and is working on three ambitious Tolkien projects: creating the world's most comprehensive database of works about the author and Oxford professor; working with colleagues internationally to establish Tolkien Studies, a new scholarly journal, at Wheaton; and editing long-lost Tolkien manuscripts for the writer's estate.
		Tolkien's increased popularity during the height of the Vietnam War is no coincidence, according to the Wheaton professor.
		Tolkien's messages about power and the lack of pure good and pure evil seemed to ring true with many young people at the time.

	Newswise
		In October Drout was chosen by the Tolkien Estate to edit Tolkien's translations of Beowulf and his many commentaries on the poem.
		Drout will publish the Beowulf translations in two volumes, one of the translations themselves, one of commentaries on the poem that he is drawing from over 1800 manuscript pages of material provided by the Tolkien Estate.
		He says he recognizes it as Tolkien's translation of a famous passage of an Old English poem called "The Wanderer." He would be happy to speak with you about the relationship between Tolkein's fascination with Old English and renewed interest in the antiquated tongue as a result of the trilogy.

		But the Tolkien Estate also indicated they believed they owned all rights to his research and the material he wishes to publish.
		Fauskanger's attorney informed the Tolkien Estate that publication of his research (without the original Tolkien text requested) would be protected under fair use exclusions of American copyright law.
		To that end, he is asking Tolkien readers who have an interest in linguistics, and who are familiar with his work on Ardalambion and other resources, to write to the Tolkien Estate and express their support.

		When Tolkien came back from the Great War, his first employment was as an assistant on the staff of the Oxford English Dictionary, and he later said that he had 'learned more in those two years than in any other equal part of [his] life'.
		He was a notable scholar of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the director and producer of the documentary film The Legacy of The Lord of the Rings.
		Tolkien proved to be a clear and effective reader, despite his reputation for inaudible lecturing.

	J. R. R. Tolkien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien met and fell in love with Edith Mary Bratt at the age of sixteen, though she was three years his senior.
		Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic, and in his religious and political views he was mostly conservative, in the sense of favouring established conventions and orthodoxies over innovation and modernization.
		Privately, Tolkien was attracted to "things of racial and linguistic significance", and he entertained notions of an inherited taste of language, which he termed the "native tongue" as opposed to "cradle tongue" in his 1955 lecture English and Welsh, which is crucial to his understanding of race and language.

	Legal Issues
		After all, while Tolkien was alive he had granted permission to Flanders and Swan and they had only done a few of his songs, and then only in a small way.
		This is a general policy of the Estate and is not based on the merits, or lack of merits, of any particular request.
		And so this project must remain shelved until such time as Tolkien's Estate change their mind and remember that their job is to foster Tolkien's Legacy, not to provide work for lawyers.

		JRR Tolkien started imagining the world and mythology of Middle-earth as early as 1916, and never ceased working on the stories and legends pertaining to this world until his death in 1973.
		The author wished for his third son, Christopher Tolkien, to become his literary executor after his death, and Christopher's first task was to organize the huge volume of papers that JRR Tolkien had created during his lifetime ; the first published work on the subject to appear was « The Silmarillion » in 1977.
		Christopher Tolkien then pursued his study of his father's papers and developed in detail the history of the author's writings and the evolution of the mythical and legendary conceptions in the course of his lifetime, in « Unfinished Tales » (1980), and the twelve-volume « History of Middle-earth » (1983-1996).

		Sierra On-Line has again signed a contract with Tolkien Enterprises (for eight years this time) and their first new game is scheduled to be The Fellowship of the Ring in 2002.
		A guess from my side would be that the Estate are probably not too eager to find a new contractor since they are very protective about Tolkien's works and their integrity these days.
		The Tolkien Estate does not have an email address, but it should be possible to send fax to their publisher HarperCollins through the address remote-printer.Mary_Butler@441813074440.iddd.tpc.int (or directly to Mary Butler at +44 1813074440).

	Is it Tolkien, or isn't it? - The Boston Globe
		The book is the epic ``Children of Húrin," begun in 1918 by the legendary author of ``The Hobbit" and ``The Lord of the Rings." Unfinished at the time of Tolkien's death in 1973, the book has been ``reconstructed" from his drafts by Christopher Tolkien, the author's 81-year-old son.
		Christopher Tolkien ``was viciously condemned" by critics when he published ``The Silmarillion" in 1977, Drout said.
		``Almost all literary estates have fragments that people try to breathe life into," he said, ``though often the reason they were not published is that the author thought the work was not worthy to publish.

	The Medieval Academy
		The real hurdles would be convincing the Tolkien Estate that I was qualified to take on the project and convincing my dissertation director and my potential future employers that editing an unpublished manuscript by a twentieth-century author was a proper use of my time.
		She receives hundreds of e-mails and letters about the Tolkien materials (most of which she answers by pointing out that the manuscripts of The Lord of the Rings are at Marquette University, not Oxford), and she warned me that some fans were, well, aggressive.
		This is not to say that Christopher Tolkien ever asked me to change a word, even when I pointed out mistakes his father had made in the first draft (these are admittedly minor: Ælfric for Alfred or a misattribution of an Old Norse passage presumably made because Tolkien was quoting from memory).

	Resources for Tolkienian Linguistics
		As such, they, like his writings (published and unpublished), are protected by national and international copyright laws, and by the Estate that Tolkien created expressly for the purpose of ensuring such protections.
		Tolkien also here discovered "for the the first time the study of a language out of mere love", by which he meant "for the acute aesthetic pleasure derived from a language for its own sake, not only free from being useful but free from being the 'vehicle of a literature'".
		Tolkien wrote that among the most important events in the development of his linguistic aesthetic was "the discovery in Exeter College library, when I was supposed to be studying for Honour Mods, of a Finnish Grammar".

	Will the Video Version of Tolkien Be Hobbit Forming?
		Tolkien's legions of fans have very precise ideas about how Middle-earth and its inhabitants should look and sound-a fact which raises the question of whether or not any screen adaptation of his work can be truly hobbit-forming.
		It has been ten years since the Tolkien estate put the film rights to "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy up for sale, and several attempts have been made to adapt Tolkien's words to some form of cinema.
		His version of Tolkien will be distributed by United Artists, he said, and will also feature an animated Frodo Baggins.

	Tolkien Bibliography - Tolkien Calendars
		During Tolkien’s last years, when it was becoming apparent that he would not produce any more major titles, Allen and Unwin looked around for other ways of cashing in on the extraordinary interest that had grown up around Tolkien and Middle- earth.
		The supply of Tolkien’s own illustrations had been exhausted, but Ralph Bakshi’s animated adaption of LotR came to the rescue and another calendar featuring stills from the film was produced for 1980.
		After this there was another a break until Rayner Unwin managed to persuade the Tolkien Estate to give their consent to use illustrations by other artists for further calendars.
