Tolkien Research

The works of J. R. R. Tolkien have generated a body of academic research, studying different facets such as

As A Writer

Invented Languages

Tolkien's invented languages, especially Quenya and Sindarin the languages of Elves, have created linguistic research in the form of academic newsletters and journals, such as the Vinyar Tengwar published by the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship. These publications have discussed text fragments, notes, and essays of Tolkien that haven't been published elsewhere.
