Angelcynn Chat Event - JRR Tolkien and the Germanic World
dateline: Feb 8, 2004 - 01:05
For Angelcynn's first chat event, we are teaming up with Valinor to host a chat discussion on JRR Tolkien in Germania's "Great Hall"
For Angelcynn's first chat event, we are teaming up with Valinor to host a chat discussion on JRR Tolkien in Germania's "Great Hall". This will be an opportunity to showcase Angelcynn and all members are invited.
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.

Friday, February 13 ALL WELCOME! by: Thiudareiks Gunthigg
Is this chat upcoming in 2005? or?
the date of this chat has confused me.. is it old or new? I'd certainly like to be there if it is for this year (2005)! AElfwyn ~ AElfwyn Grafeldr
Alas, this chat was last year, but...
... it would be great if we could do something like that this year too! Last year I was not here yet when they had the chat. What do our Cynning and Biscop say? I'll test the ground at Valinor too. It would be great if we could renew the ties between groups AND have another Tolkien/Anglo-Saxon chat! ~ Aelfwine Scylding |
