For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Looking at Middle-earth
A systematic attempt to explore the many facets of J. R. R. Tolkien's creation (relying on the books, not the movies). We examine Tolkien's world-building, his use of language, his theology of "subcreation", and facets of his life and professional work as a philologist.
