Translating and Illustrating Tolkien: Peter Roe Series XXIII - Paperback

by Will Sherwood (Editor)

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.
