The school announced today that Ralph Wood will hold a lecture at UNCG on Oct. 26 entitled &#8220;J.R.R. Tolkien: Writer for Our Time of Terror.&#8221; Wood, a professor of theology and literature at Baylor University, will speak at 7 p.m. in the Alexander Room, Elliot University Center. His lecture is sponsored by the UNCG English department&#8217;s speakers series. It&#8217;s free and open to the public. Tolkien wrote classics including &#8220;The Hobbit&#8221; and the &#8220;Lord of the Rings&#8221; trilogy. His works have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity following the release of the recent &#8220;Lord of the Rings&#8221; films.
