The Tales After Tolkien Society promotes scholarship exploring any and all ways in which popular culture genres engage with the Middle Ages. What does 'medieval' mean in different genres – including but limited to Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance, Westerns, Historical, Horror, Young Adult and Children's?

The Society aims to connect scholars and build a community of those working on medievalisms in genre literature, and to promote their work. We organize conference panels, and have two edited collections forthcoming.

We are currently seeking new contributors to our blog talesaftertolkien.blogspot.com
Posts might take the form of book, film, or game reviews, short-form scholarship, comments on medievalist scholarship, but are not limited to these options. If it has to do with popular cultures genres and the Middle Ages, we'd like to hear about it.
