SUMMARY:Happy Hour: J.R.R. Tolkien: Myth & Modernism
DESCRIPTION:J.R.R. Tolkien was a towering figure in the world of twentieth-century English letters. His labors on Beowulf continue to shape the literary landscape\, his work on the Oxford English Dictionary still serves\, and his groundbreaking thoughts about the role and purpose of fairy stories gave focus to the thoughts of C.S. Lewis and other Inklings. The Rev’d. Andrew Lazo returns to speak to the ESU about Tolkien’s approach to myth and language in his own period—an approach that still speaks call on our age as well. \n\n\n\nThis ESU Happy Hour is sponsored by the ESU Central Florida Branch.
