Michael Drout receives prestigious fellowship
Posted by Urulókë on Jun 6, 2006 (981 views)

Michael Drout, an associate professor of English at Wheaton College, was awarded a McIntosh Fellowship, a prestigious honor bestowed on recently tenured faculty at liberal arts colleges.

He plans to use money from the fellowship for a trip to Spain where he will work on his current book project, "From Tradition to Culture: The Exeter Book and the English Benedictine Reform'' with a friend and collaborator.

Drout discovered Tolkien's manuscript used for "Beowulf and the Critics'' in 1996 at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Also, he co-founded "Tolkien Studies", a scholarly journal (volume 2 has just been released.) He's currently proofreading the J. R. R. Tolkien Encyclopedia: Scholarship and Critical Assessment, to be published in October.

Drout is scheduled to speak at a handful of Tolkien conventions this summer.
