Writing as Archaeology: Chipping Away

J.R.R. Tolkien is the author of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.

In preparation for today's episode I read J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien by Humphrey Carpenter, watched the documentary A Film Portrait of J.R.R. Tolkien, and read 11 interviews.
