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

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.
