J. R. R. Tolkien: An Imaginative Life (Lecture 1 of 3)
Lecture 1 in a series of three illustrated lectures - Presented by Lance S. Owens, MD. (Each lecture is about 80 minutes long. The audio for this first lecture is of much lower quality that the subsequent recordings, due to difficulties with the recording equipment.)
Abstract: J.R.R. Tolkien has emerged as one of the most important and enduring literary figures of the twentieth century. His masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, possesses an intriguing quality of "depth" and veracity that has evoked a sense of wonder in generations of readers. Those qualities have made it one of the most-printed and most-read books in history.
Most of his fans know that Tolkien was a philologist and professor of English language at Oxford. However, very few readers appreciate the intensity with which Tolkien explored the beauty and perils of his imaginative world before ever starting down the road that led from the Shire to Mount Doom – the decade long labor of writing LOTR, begun by Tolkien in 1937. These three lectures examine the broad span of Tolkien's life and work, with focus on Tolkien’s experience of imagination.
