35 - Erik Mueller-Harder

<p>For this episode, I had the chance to talk to one of the nicest people in Tolkien scholarship: Erik Mueller-Harder!</p> <p>Erik's scholarly focus is on cartography and map-making. This interest has led him to closely investigate the first maps that Tolkien ever created for <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>, and his conference presentations on the subject are mesmerizing! In addition to this personal focus, Erik has also created a website (<a href="http://tolkienists.org">tolkienists.org</a>) that has helpful resources for any Tolkien fan or researcher! This is where you will find the Tolkien Society Award nominated Tolkien Art Index, as well as his LRCitations, and a forum that is a hub for researchers and scholars!</p>
