Language Invention Through Tolkien
LecturesAndrew Higgins
There are arguably two elements of Tolkien’s creative work that readers tend to skip over to “get to the good parts.” One of these is Tolkien’s brilliant poetry – the beauty and excellence of which Dr. Corey Olsen explored in his Tolkien’s Poetry course. Now we would like to invite you to explore the second crucial element of Tolkien’s creative work which is often neglected, or passed over with head scratching puzzlement, by readers – Tolkien’s Invented Languages.
