  • Fleming will give the first Seynaeve Memorial Lecture at LSU in March 2012
    Posted: Wednesday, July 6, 2011
    Fleming will give the first Seynaeve Memorial Lecture at LSU in March 2012. Her book The Battle for Middle-earth, which continues to get attention, prompted the invitation. The subject will be Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. The invitation to lecture, which comes from the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, will allow Fleming to speak about her passion for the mythic North, which brought forth Tolkien’s LOTR, Wagner’s Ring operas and the novels of Halldor Laxness, among other wonders.

  • Fleming’s book about The Lord of the Rings continues to be read, praised, and quoted
    Posted: Monday, June 20, 2011
    Fleming’s book about The Lord of the Rings continues to be read, praised, and quoted. The new issue of the journal of the Tolkien Society, Mallorn, features a scholarly article called “The ‘Divine Passive’ in The Lord of the Rings,” which draws significantly on Fleming’s The Battle for Middle-earth. In her book, Fleming has put much emphasis on Tolkien’s use of the passive voice ("Bilbo was meant to have the Ring…I seemed to be drawn somehow…Bare time was given me…" and so forth) which Tolkien uses throughout the saga to suggest the working of the divine agency. A conspicuous example of a triple divine passive in the New Testament is Matthew 27:51-2—"the curtain of the temple was torn in two…the rocks were split…the tombs also were opened…"

  • Fleming to preach Feb. 1 at Bach Vespers in NYC
    Posted: Tuesday, January 6, 2009
    Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Central Park West at 65th Street, is one of the most enticing musical offerings in New York City. The central feature of Bach Vespers, now in its 41st year at lovely Holy Trinity, is of course a cantata appointed for the liturgical season, but Bach's music is set in a true service of worship similar to those in Leipzig where the cantatas were originally sung . For information about Bach Vespers, its artists, cantata texts, season schedule and more, visit www.bachvespersnyc.org
