Periodicals

Being a list of various periodical (and in some cases not-quite-so-periodical) publications that publish articles, reviews, etc. that are relevant to the study of the life and works of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien, CBE.

The ordering of this list is, of course, somewhat subjective, and the entries on the list are, by necessity, limited to those that I know of. If you have suggestions for improvement, new items for the list or other kinds of comments, please feel free to contact me.
