SUMMARY:Second Annual Tolkien Lecture
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/201926
DESCRIPTION:Join us for 'The Houses of Healing: Tolkien, Fantasy, and the Road to Recovery' our Second Annual Tolkien Lecture, delivered by John Garth, renowned Tolkien expert. Garth will argue that creating his Middle-earth mythology helped J.R.R. Tolkien to recover from the horrors and griefs of war, and will show how this infuses the professor’s own theory about fantasy as a means of recovering ‘a clear view’ of the world.\n
 John is a British journalist and author, known especially for writings about J.R.R. Tolkien including his biography Tolkien and the Great War and a book on the places that inspired Middle-earth, The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien. The biography influenced much Tolkien scholarship in the subsequent decades.\n
 Further details on the lecture will appear on this webpage in the near future!\n
