    "description": "For almost four decades, Ren\u00e9e Vink, co-founder of\nthe Dutch Tolkien Society Unquendor and translator\nof several of J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s works, has been studying\nthe Legendarium of Arda and writing about it. Among\nher output are numerous contributions to the Society\u2019s\nmagazine, an increasing list of scholarly essays, and\nthe monograph Wagner and Tolkien: Mythmakers. In\naddition, she has edited several issues of Lembas Extra,\nUnquendor\u2019s biennial magazine.\n\nThis volume contains thirteen of her articles, focusing on various subjects\nfrom translation, Elvish affairs, books by female authors with links to Tolkien\u2019s\nworks, Jewish aspects of his Dwarves, fan-fiction, and last but not least, another\nWagnerian parallel. Nine of these, the oldest dating from the early 1990s,\nwere published previously in various journals or conference proceedings. The\nremaining four are new.\n\nUnquendor chairman since 2013, Jan van Breda, has provided an introduction\nto the volume:\n\n\u201cThe members of Unquendor have come to know Ren\u00e9e as an\ninsightful writer, a sharp thinker, and (if needs be)\na fierce debater on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.\u201d",
