On 2 September 1973 J.R.R. #Tolkien died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. He may have died 51 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namárië.

It was lovely to have Adele Guyton speak to our UofG Fantasy PhD students on “Vision, Wonder, and the Legacy of 19th Century Astronomy in Tales of Wonder (1937-1942)”. Many thanks to Will Tattersdill for organising and chairing!

Thinking about this remarkable statement by #Tolkien about Sam Gamgee in Letter 246 👇 For all of Tolkien’s praise of the hobbits’ simple, rural, “natural” way of life, he doesn’t romanticise the worldview of “a Warwickshire village of about the period of the Diamond Jubilee”.
