I wonder how many of these I could make it to Marquette to hear?
They do say they will be streaming the presentations as well, for those of us unable to travel.
Programming announced for “J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript” at Haggerty Museum of Art
MAY 25, 2022
The Haggerty Museum of Art and Raynor Memorial Libraries announced the presentation of a slate of programming, including a lecture series, in conjunction with the collaborative exhibition “J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript.” The exhibition will feature the original manuscripts created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his literary classics “The Hobbit,” “The Lord of the Rings” and other works.
Lecture Series
Hostetter is one of the most experienced students of Tolkien’s manuscripts. His ability to read and interpret Tolkien’s notoriously difficult handwriting is second to none. Christopher Tolkien (1924-2020) entrusted Hostetter with editing his father’s last volume of published writings, released in 2021 under the title, “The Nature of Middle-earth.” Hostetter’s work is highly regarded by Tolkien scholars. His volume “Tolkien’s Legendarium”—co-edited with Verlyn Flieger—is considered one of the best collections of essays on the history of Tolkien’s secondary world.
All lectures will be held at the Haggerty Museum of Art and will include time for questions and answers. The lectures will be streamed online for audiences who wish to attend virtually. Due to limited capacity, advanced reservations will be required and can be made online(https://www.eventbrite.com/e/jrr-tolki ... registration-290611666317).
Other programming highlights include:
Pricing
The lectures and programs will be free of charge.
