We are now calling for papers for the Tolkien Society Autumn Seminar, on the theme of Translating and Illustrating Tolkien, which will be held online on Saturday 6th November 2021. The deadline is Friday 3rd September.

We are delighted to announce the speakers for the Talks and Papers programme at Oxonmoot 2021.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s publishers, HarperCollins, have announced that a brand new audiobook of The Lord of the Rings will be released this autumn, and narrated by Andy Serkis.

Over the weekend of 3rd-4th July, the Society hosted its Summer Seminar on the theme of Tolkien and Diversity. Hosted online on Zoom, we welcomed 16 speakers and over 700 audience members to what was a spectacular event. The individual paper recordings are now available for free on the Tolkien Society’s YouTube channel.

The new video of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum shows Gandalf, Thranduil, the Mouth of Sauron, as well as locations such as the Mirkwood and the Mines of Moria.

We are delighted to announce that Carl will be joining us at Oxonmoot as an online guest.
