This panel is interested in exploring moments of crisis and transformation as related to Tolkien’s work, both internal (for example, conflict among the Fellowship of the Ring) or external (for example, the First World War and its influence of Tolkien’s work). Papers may focus on topics such as: warfare and kingship in Tolkien’s works; the relationship of Middle-Earth to England and to JRRT's life experiences; JRRT’s sense of history as a ‘long defeat’; the various cultures brought into contact in his writings; film adaptations of his works; and any other related topics.
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be emailed to Kristin Noone at kristin.noone@email.ucr.edu by March 5, 2010. Please indicate any A/V needs.
