Tolkien's Modern Reading: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages

Tolkien's Modern Reading: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages is a book by Holly Ordway, published by Word on Fire Academic on January 25, 2021.
Ordway asserts in the book that, contrary to popular notion, J.R.R. Tolkien was versed in modern literature and his Middle-earth legendarium did not lack contemporary influences. Authors discussed include Rider Haggard, George MacDonald, William Morris, David Lindsay, and J.H. Shorthouse. The book finishes with a table index of all literature that Tolkien is known to have possessed.
In 2022, Tolkien's Modern Reading won the Mythopoeic Society's Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies.https://www.mythsoc.org/assets/2022-Winners-Press-Release.pdf
