"Death and Immortality in Middle-earth: Proceedings of The Tolkien Society Seminar 2016

J.R.R. Tolkien deplored allegory and rejected any suggestion that The Lord of the Rings has an inner meaning or message. In reading back the tale, however, he became aware of a dominant motif: 'The real theme for me is [...] Death and Immortality: the mystery of the love of the world in the hearts of a race ""doomed"" to leave and seemingly lose it; the anguish in the hearts of a race ""doomed"" not to leave it, until its whole evil-aroused story is complete' (Letters, p. 246). Despite the lucidity of this statement, the theme of death and immortality has been left relatively unexplored in Tolkien studies. In recognition of this, and to commemorate the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, The Tolkien Society called for presentations on this important topic for its seminar in Leeds on 2 July 2016. Published under the auspices of the Society's Peter Roe Memorial Fund, this book features a collection of twelve papers delivered on the day by aspiring and established Tolkien scholars alike."
