7th August 2019: Tolkien and the Classics published

We are pleased to announce our latest publication, Tolkien and the Classics, edited by Roberto Arduini, Giampaolo Canzonieri & Claudio A. Testi.

The origins of this collection are twofold. First, there is the ever-growing awareness of the importance of making scholars and critics realize how much J.R.R. Tolkien is, in all respects, a great literary classic, comparable to those already accepted as 'canonical'. Second, the desire to offer a publication that could be enjoyed, and made actual use of, by students and teachers of secondary schools and universities. This collection of mainly short essays, each one exploring a parallel between Tolkien and the Classics of Western literature, is divided into three sections:
Tolkien and Authors from Antiquity (four essays)
Tolkien and Authors from the Middle Ages (six essays)
Tolkien and Authors from the Modern Period (eleven essays)
