J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy Stories - Fantasy And The Arts - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century English author, linguist, and literary critic J.R.R. Tolkien's essay On Fairy Stories It focuses specifically on Tolkien's conception of fantasy, which he takes to be at the core of fairy tales, and why it is that one art in particular - literature, using the medium of language - is best suited for fantasy and fairy stories, by contrast to painting or to drama To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get a copy of Poems and Stories, which contains this essay, here - https://amzn.to/3XF6nKb
