#CallForPapers: Tolkien’s #Medievalism in Ruins: The Function of #Relics and #Ruins in Middle-earth

Throughout J.R.R. Tolkien’s history of Middle-earth, relics and ruins appear as images that capture the mood, personality, and disposition of the characters. This proposed collection of essays will seek to deepen the awareness and importance of relics and ruins in Tolkien's legendarium while simultaneously focusing on how Tolkien’s vision of history functions within and outside of the Middle Ages. #JRRTolkien #Tolkien #MiddleEarth #MiddleAges #TolkienStudies #Academics
