J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript is a book by Dr. William Fliss and Dr. Sarah Schaefer, presenting the contents of an exhibition at Marquette University of some of J.R.R. Tolkien's manuscripts.
The exhibition, curated by Fliss and Schaefer, is a collaboration of Marquette University's Raynor Memorial Libraries (the home of their J.R.R. Tolkien Collection) and Haggerty Museum of Art, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It ran from August to December, 2022.[1] A portion of its material had been included in the Paris showing of the Bodleian Library's 2018 Maker of Middle-earth exhibition.[2]
The book begins with essays by the curators. Many manuscripts of Tolkien featured in the book had not been revealed in The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (2015) or Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth (2018), or at prior Tolkien exhibits.
- "The exhibition considers Tolkien’s work through the lens of manuscripts, in terms of both the materials that Tolkien studied as a medieval philologist and the manuscripts that he created while developing his collected writings on Middle-earth. Professor Tolkien was deeply immersed in the complexities of manuscripts, and this exhibition will illustrate how different aspects of the manuscript tradition found expression within Tolkien’s scholarly life and in his creative writing. Founded on Marquette's J.R.R. Tolkien Collection, the exhibition also includes items borrowed from other repositories, including a significant number of Tolkien manuscripts and artwork from the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford."
