MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
The Mythopoeic Society is an American non-profit devoted to the works of the Inklings, above all Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams. It grew out of a Bilbo and Frodo birthday picnic held in Los Angeles in September 1967 by a student, Glen GoodKnight.
The Society publishes the peer-reviewed journal Mythlore, holds a yearly conference called Mythcon and gives the Mythopoeic Awards, for fantasy novels and for scholarship on the Inklings. Its winners make a good reading list for anyone who likes Tolkien, and many key books of Tolkien studies have won its scholarship award.
The American society for the Inklings since 1967, publisher of Mythlore and home of the Mythopoeic Awards.
