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
