New Digital Voices to Meet Tolkien

The British Writer J. R. R. Tolkien has now become one of main literary figures worldwide. His two novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have been read by millions of people and Peter Jackson’s film adaptation, as well as the recently released Amazon Prime Series The Rings of Power has contributed to Tolkien’s fame. His diffusion in Italy has always been troublesome since the 1960s because of political issues: Nowadays, some associations and groups have come to life and one of these, Tolkieniani Italiani (Italian Tolkienians), and developed new digital ways to discuss and widen Tolkien studies and cultural sharing all over Italy and abroad.
