Tolkien. Listings are geared toward the English-speaking, North American user, but include some European sources as well. Design/methodology/approach Recommendations are based on the author’s experience as a scholar, editor and thesis advisor in the field of Tolkien studies.

This guide is designed to help the student, scholar, or thesis writer begin an in-depth literature search on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

As this is a field friendly to independent scholars not attached to a university or college, I am addressing their information needs as well.
