I am honored and delighted to announce that The Inklings and King Arthur has been shortlisted for the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies! This prize is given to books on J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and/or Charles Williams that makes significant contributions to Inklings scholarship. I am pleased that all the hard, forward-thinking work of my chapter-writers in this book has been acknowledged and appreciated. We are also in illustrious company; the other nominees are:
Chance, Jane, Tolkien, Self and other: This Queer Creature (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016)- Coutras, Lisa, Tolkien’s Theology of Beauty: Majesty, Splendor, and Transcendence in Middle-earth (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016)
- Flieger, Verlyn, There Would Always Be a Fairy Tale: More Essays on Tolkien (Kent State University Press, 2017)
- Tolkien, Christopher, ed., Beren and Luthien (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017)
You might also like to look over the list of previous nominees and winners, as it provides a kind of Who’s Who of Inklings studies and a handy picture of the evolution of the field.
The winners of this year’s awards will be announced during Mythcon 49, to be held July 20-23, 2018, in Atlanta, Georgia. Are you going to Mythcon this year?

Congratulations! (And good wishes! The other nominees all sound interesting, but this is clearly the most ‘inklings-diverse’!)
At the recent Dutch Tolkien Society Symposium on “The World Tolkien Built”, at Leiden University, Dr. Thijs Porck happily told me he now had his copy – and I suspect that may not be unusual on this side of the Atlantic!
