📆 Week 92 (26 November 2024): “Monsters/Critics”
Tolkien delivered his lecture “Beowulf: the Monsters and the Critics” to the British Academy in London (25 November 1936).
Dual theme of Monsters and/or Critics. 🧵 1/
Glad to be here! I like the fresh air.
Introduce yourself with:
One book 📚 — The Lord of the Rings (JRRT)
One movie 🎥 — Ladyhawke
One album 💿 — An ancient muse (Loreena McKennit)
One TV show 📺 — Buffy, the Vampire Slayer
I think I have reached enough followers to start asking questions (a lot of my research is about the reception of #Tolkien’s works, so I love asking about it)!
When did you first read anything by Tolkien (or watch/play/listen to an adaptation if that came first)?
Reskeet for more answers!
I read the Lord of the Rings in French when I was about 12 or 13.
My brother and my dad kept talking about it and I wondered what the fuss was all about.
I rediscovered it in English when in University.
