Hither Shore

156.56.145.67:

'''Hither Shore''' was a term used especially by the [[Elves]] for the mortal lands of [[Middle-earth]], a reminder of the far distant shores of Aman. In [[First Age]] [[Sindarin]], it also had a more specific meaning, since it translates into that language as the name [[Nevrast]], a cold seaward region in the northwest of [[Beleriand]].

----
'''Hither Shore''' is also the title of the bilingual (German and English) annual published by the [[German Tolkien Society]] (Deutsche Tolkien Gesellschaft/DTG). Think of it roughly as the German equivalent of [[Tolkien Studies]]. Visit the webpage for Hither Shore at [http://www.tolkiengesellschaft.de/deutsche-tolkien-gesellschaft/hither-shore/].

==From the Publisher==
This monograph is a collection of analytic articles--both previously published and unpublished in about equal measure--on [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s "[[The Lord of the Rings]]" and "[[The Hobbit]]," written by Tolkien scholar and Comparative Translationist [[Mark T. Hooker]], most famous, perhaps, for his application of Comparative Translation to the study of Tolkien. All of the articles in the book have been reviewed and revised to take into consideration the materials newly made available in "[[The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion]]."

----

[[Beyond Bree]] and [[Hither Shore]] say that there is "something here for everyone with even a passing interest in Tolkien. All of the articles are well researched, insightful, and highly informative."

[[Amon Hen]] (the September 2006 issue) says: "Highly recommendable."

[[Tolkien Studies]] (No. 4) says: a "pleasantly eccentric volume" . . . "Hooker has a wide variety of things to say that have not been heard before."

----
''The Raynor Memorial Library'' at '''Marquette University''' has added a copy of '''A Tolkienian Mathomium''' to its collection.
----
Includes illustrations by [[James Dunning]].
