"Tolkien's 'Medieval' Worldbuilding"Presented by Cami Agan, Distinguished Professor of Language & Literature, Oklahoma Christian University
J.R.R. Tolkien was a trained medievalist, and he also constructed a world that echoes many of the medieval works he knew well. This lecture will discuss the field of "medievalisms", Tolkien's relationship to his medievalist "day job" and his creative works, what scholars of Tolkien explore in his works, and finally, the speaker's scholarly interest in Tolkien's created world of Middle-earth.
