The central component of the course will consist of detailed study of his three major works – The Hobbit, The
Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion – with particular emphasis on formation and revision of these and
associated texts, from The Lost Road to The Children of Húrin. Finally, the course will conclude with a
comparison of the Ralph Bakshi and Peter Jackson film treatments and other examples of reception in
different media.
The course will also consider how far Tolkien’s trips to Cornwall affected his work.
