What inspired J.R.R. Tolkien as he created "The Hobbit" or "The Lord of the Rings?" Most scholarship focuses on sources from the Middle Ages. However, in this week's episode Dr. Holly Ordway sits down with Dr. David Downing and Laura Schmidt (Wade Archivist) to discuss the overlooked modern sources and authors who influenced Tolkien, based on her forthcoming book, "Tolkien's Modern Sources: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages." If you are a Tolkien fan you do not want to miss this episode.
