Congratulations to @Miriam_Ellis_ , author of "The Art of Mercy in Middle-earth," for winning the Tolkien Society's 2026 award for Best Artwork. Miriam is a brilliant artist, and if you enjoyed her first book, you will love her forthcoming second book "A Shire Walking-Party: Paintings Inspired by Tolkien's Little Folk," which will be published by Uppsala Books later this year (https://t.co/ZC4MBIKnpc).

A tremendously informative video about Tolkien's reading and teaching. Highly recommended!

What were Tolkien’s Oxford students reading in the 1930s?

We actually have a pretty good idea! Today’s video covers Tolkien’s Old English curriculum at Pembroke, what he taught, and how we can learn these poems and selections today. Watch here:

Check out this great interview with Winder McConnell, Emeritus Professor of German at UC Davis, who recently translated "The Castle of Love" for Uppsala Books.

His translation is the first of its kind, essentially bringing to light a "new" work of medieval literature for today's readers. For more information, visit: https://t.co/8mXZgOsCdZ

I had never heard of Die Minneburg before seeing its publication announced. Today, I sat down with translator Winder McConnell to ask him: what is it?

The answer is a fascinating medieval allegorical epic about courtly love! Check out the interview here: https://t.co/LbebkUaMFR

Walther of Aquitaine is a medieval hero (probably of Gothic origins) whom storytellers placed in the presence of such legendary luminaries as Attila the Hun, Gunther the Burgundian (Gundaharius), Dietrich von Bern (Theodoric), and even Charlemagne. To read accounts of Walther in Latin and German, with facing-page English translations, check out these two books!
