Tolkien: Middle Earth and the Middle Ages
Episode description as stored
<p>From where did J.R.R. Tolkien get his ideas for the world of Middle Earth?</p><p>For millions of readers, <em>The Hobbit</em> and <em>The Lord of the Rings</em> are more than just fantasy fiction. Their rich mix of sacred mythology and archetypal saga stories draw deeply into history and legend and profoundly resonate with universal human experience.</p><p>As with most things, Matt Lewis is determined to claim Middle Earth was inspired by the medieval period, with the help of today's guest, Tolkien scholar Dr. Christopher Snyder.</p>
