Germania Chat Event: JRR Tolkien and the Germanic World
Created by: * Thiudareiks Gunthigg, subeditdate
Angelcynn and Valinor have joined forces to co-host a chat event in Germania\'s Great Hall.
Angelcynn and Valinor extend you an invitation to join this in this chat discussion.
Come into the Great Hall of Germania on the evening of Friday February 13 and join in this discussion of the impact of ancient Germania on Tolkien's imagination and on his fiction.
With the release of the recent The Lord of the Rings films, there is increasing interest in Tolkien, his scholarship and the works and languages that inspired him.
This discussion, jointly hosted at Germania by Angelcynn and Valinor, will explore Tolkien's love and knowledge of Old English and Old Norse literature and the formative effect ancient Germanic languages like Gothic had on his scholarship and fiction.
Germanic parallels with elements in Tolkien's work, his thoughts on Beowulf and the Germanic influence on the costumes and sets in the recent movies will be amongst the subjects to be discussed.
So join us by the fire in the Great Hall and share your thoughts on Tolkien and his influences.
