Tolkien analysis/fansites

This is a list of websites and other resources dedicated to Tolkien studies. I've made an attempt to root out the more "scholarly" (or at least "comprehensive") sites, to make it more appropriate for Wikipedia.

  • [http://www.timelineuniverse.net/MiddleEarth/TheCrossroads.htm A Chronology of Middle-Earth] (fanmade timeline)
  • [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Main_page Tolkien Gateway] (wiki- check the sources that it uses!)
  • [https://www.theonering.net/torwp/library/ The One Ring Library (Greenbooks)] (I'd recommend the articles by the user [https://www.theonering.net/torwp/author/demosthenes/ Demosthenes], and also the stuff on [http://greenbooks.theonering.net the old Greenbooks web page].)
  • [https://journals.tolkiensociety.org/mallorn/ Mallorn] (peer-reviewed journal of the Tolkien Society)
  • [https://tolkienlibrary.com Tolkien Library] (general-purpose Tolkien site)
  • [https://web.archive.org/web/20130927234624/http://www.tolkien-online.com/Tolkien-blog.html Tolkien Online] (fansite with book summaries)
  • [http://shelf1.library.cmu.edu/books/gloriana/gloriana.pdf Tolkien's Cauldron: Northern Literature and "The Lord of the Rings"] (has an extensive bibliography)
  • [https://scholar.valpo.edu/journaloftolkienresearch/ Journal of Tolkien Research] (peer-reviewed journal focused on "Tolkien studies")
  • [http://www.tolkienbooks.net TolkienBooks.net] (goes over Tolkien's entire bibliography in detail, and also has articles about the publication history of Tolkien's works)
  • [https://www.tolkienbooks.us TolkienBooks.US] (same as TolkienBooks.net, except it covers the American and Canadian editions of Tolkien's works, not the British editions)
  • Carter, Lin. Tolkien: A Look Behind The Lord of the Rings. Ballantine Books, 1969.
