So, imagine my surprise when tonight I checked out headlines on Huffington Post and found a piece about a new Tolkien release. And not THE BEOWULF, as it turns out, but his 1958 Rotterdam speech. Here's the link.

More on this once I've had a chance to find out details.

Thanks for this news!
ReplyDeleteSo, what did you find out about this? All I can find is the short snippet on InfoWars. Was this all a hoax? While all the articles from 2014 still mention it, without any updates, all of the links to the full version are no longer valid. I notice that MiddleEarthNetwork.com is also defunct. Correlative or causal?
ReplyDeleteAppreciate any insight you may have.
Thanks!

Hi T.S.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder.
No, I don't have any more information on this. I'm assuming that the difficulties of augmenting the tape to improve its quality along with questions regarding the rights.
That said, I hope they are able to enhance the audio into something more listen-able and get permissions to make it available through the right forum.
Let me know if you find out more.
