We&#8217;ll look first at Tolkien&#8217;s biography, his writing life, the origins of the stories, and their publication history. We&#8217;ll continue with lessons on each book, concentrating on Tolkien&#8217;s construction of a mythological world and its peoples and languages, his characters and their development, and his thematic concerns. Finally, we&#8217;ll look at Tolkien&#8217;s lasting influence on 20th-century fantasy literature, as well as on cultural movements such as neo-paganism and environmentalism.
