Marquette Conference Proceedings

[Hilary]

I had been wondering if and when we would be able to get the papers from the Marquette Conference held last year. I emailed Matt Blessing, and got the response below:


Hilary:

Thanks for your kind note. Just last week editor Wayne Hammond
electronically shipped The Lord of the Rings: 1954-2004: Scholarship
in Honor of Richard E. Blackwelder to the MU Press. The volume will
include all presentations, including Chuck Elston's tribute to Dick
Blackwelder. We're currently working on a few permissions and the
index, but hope to have the book available by mid-December...January
at the latest.

All the best,
Matt

Magpie just emailed me with a link to the papers from the Tolkien 2004 conference at Marquette.

www.marquette.edu/library/information/news/2006/jrrt_proceedings.html

The link explains how to order a copy.

There is also a publication of "The Invented Worlds of JRR Tolkien" which was created to go along with the 2004 conference. It is also for sale.
