Songs for the Philologists v.2023-07 (original) (raw)

2023, Songs for the Philologists

"Songs for the Philologists" is a booklet containing thirty poems and songs, some of which are written by E.V. Gordon and J.R.R. Tolkien, others are folk songs from various traditions. It is perhaps the rarest and most difficult to find Tolkien related book, as it was printed privately in 1936 and has never been reprinted since. The verses are written in a number of languages, including Modern English, Middle English, Old English, Old Norse (Icelandic and Swedish), Latin, and Gothic. [ The preceding abstract is from the Tolkien Gateway website https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Songs\_for\_the\_Philologists, accessed on 2023-07-05 ] The text of this publication has been revised and edited by Ronald Kyrmse. Corrections of Tolkien's poems are based on Appendix B in T.A. Shippey, "The Road to Middle-earth".
