Once upon a time I went to Milwaukee to give a paper at a Tolkien conference. Now the proceedings have been published: The Lord of the Rings 1954-2004: Scholarship in Honor of Richard E. Blackwelder and I have another publication on my resume.

I'm sorry that I can't find any web links that say what's actually in the book - hefty little volume, 387 pages hardbound in incongruous baby blue - but I can list and summarize the papers if anyone's interested. A brief taste is in this summary of the actual conference by [livejournal.com profile] milwaukeesfs. Suffice to say now that when you have people like Tom Shippey, John Garth, John D. Rateliff, Christina Scull, Carl F. Hostetter, and Mike Foster - to name the authors of only some of the best essays - you have the very best in Tolkien scholarship. I'm stunned to be in there with them.
