Recentemente David Bratman ha annunciato, come di consueto sul suo blog Kalimac’s corner, l’arrivo del numero 21 di Tolkien Studies: An Annual Scholarly Review. La prestigiosa rivista, pubblicata dalla West Virginia University Press, è diretta dallo stesso Bratman insieme a Michael D.C. Drout e Yvette Kisor, che con questo numero subentra ufficialmente nel ruolo che per anni era stato ricoperto da Verlyn Flieger (che comunque è sempre in attività, nonostante stia diradando gli impegni).
Il nuovo numero sarà presto disponibile sia in formato cartaceo con copertina flessibile sia in pdf sul sito Project MUSE.
Fra i numerosi contributi siamo orgogliosi di sottolineare quello di Claudio Antonio Testi, socio fondatore dell’AIST, che con l’articolo “From ‘The Tree’ to ‘Leaf by Niggle’: Up to the Mountains and Beyond” viene pubblicato per la seconda volta su questa importante rivista.
