MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
Tolkien and Alterity is a collection of essays edited by Christopher Vaccaro and Yvette Kisor, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2017 in its New Middle Ages series.
The essays look at the role of the Other in Tolkien's fiction, his life and the criticism of his work. They deal with gender, sexuality, race, language and identity in The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and lesser-known texts, and study figures such as Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, Saruman, Éowyn and the Orcs. The volume also includes bibliographical essays on race and on queer readings in Tolkien studies.
