Event Recording
The eglerio to Christopher Tolkien is over, but you can view the event recording below or on the Signum YouTube channel.
Event Description
As we mourn the passing of J. R. R. Tolkien’s devoted and brilliant son, Christopher Tolkien, join Signum and friends in a discussion of Christopher’s life and legacy on Tolkien studies and wider scholarship. We will ponder what makes up an “author”; the importance of an editor; how things might have been if Christopher had not worked on his father’s legendarium; and even the question of Christopher as an Inkling.
Join Dr. Corey Olsen, also known as The Tolkien Professor, on February 13, 2020, at 2pm ET as he hosts a panel discussion with Signum faculty and friends, including:
- John Garth, author of Tolkien and the Great War, Tolkien at Exeter College, and the forthcoming The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien
- Dr. Bradford Lee Eden, editor of The Journal of Tolkien Research, Middle-earth Minstrel, and The Hobbit in Tolkien’s Mythology
- Dr. Sara Brown, author of From Abjection to Alchemy in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth Legendarium and Tolkien Studies lecturer and preceptor here at Signum
Please join us live to hear reflections – and share your own – on Christopher Tolkien’s stewardship of his father’s work and the importance of his work in helping to establish the discipline of Tolkien Studies. For those who cannot attend in person, a recording will be made after the event and posted to Signum’s YouTube channel.
