Tolkien Studies: An Annual Scholarly Review is anacademic journal founded in 2004 publishing papers on the works ofJ. R. R. Tolkien.^[1] The journal's founding editors areDouglas A. Anderson,Michael D. C. Drout, andVerlyn Flieger, and the current editors are Drout, Flieger, andDavid Bratman. It states that it is the first scholarly journal published by an academic press in the area ofTolkien research (at least in the English language).^[2]

Reception

[edit]

The Tolkien scholarDavid Bratman wrote that in 2005,Tolkien Studies had "retrenched intoLord of the Rings studies", centred onWayne G. Hammond andChristina Scull'sThe Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, though it was accompanied by mythological and medieval studies of Tolkien's work.^[3]

In 2009, the Tolkien scholarJanet Brennan Croft wrote inMythlore that "The continued and growing success ofTolkien Studiesis a cheering indication that our narrow field of mythopoeic andInklings studies is healthy enough to support two substantial and highly-respected refereed scholarly journals on the general topic in this country alone (Seven: An Anglo-American Review andMythlore), as well as a number of specialized journals devoted even more narrowly to individual Inklings and fellow fantasists, likeTolkien Studies."^[4] She added that the journal was distinctive in "commissioning a lead article from a major Tolkien scholar, and following it up with an appreciation and/or checklist of their scholarship."^[4]

In 2010, Don Riggs reviewedTolkien Studies Volume 6 forJournal of the Fantastic in the Arts, commenting that it contained essays, book reviews, a summary of the year 2006 in Tolkien studies, and a bibliography of the year 2007. He noted that the editors were major scholars in the field.^[5]

Mike Foster, writing inMythlore in 2011 after seeing the first seven volumes of the journal, calledTolkien Studies "the best anthology of Tolkien criticism and commentary".^[6]
