Nick Groom is currently Professor of Literature in English at the University of Macau, having previously held positions at the universities of Chicago, Stanford, and Exeter, where he holds an Honorary Professorship. Nick was our speaker at the Annual Dinner last year in Exeter, and is a firm friend of The Tolkien Society.

Tolkien in the Twenty-First Century is an engaging and vibrant reinterpretation of the beloved author’s work, revealing how his visionary creation of Middle-Earth is more relevant now than perhaps Tolkien himself ever envisioned.

Beginning with Tolkien’s earliest influence—and drawing on key moments from his life, Nick delves deep into topics such as friendship, failure, the environment, diversity, and Tolkien’s place in a post-Covid age, taking the reader on an unexpected and thought-provoking journey into J. R. R. Tolkien’s world.
