ENG 361 - TOLKIEN & LEWIS

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

J.R.R. Tolkien has been called "the Author of the 20th Century," and C.S. Lewis is likewise one of the best known names among literary and academic figures of the last 100 years. The main goal of this course is to try to explain why two rather marginalized Oxford professors now appear, posthumously, as dominant literary figures for their generation and succeeding ones. While the main concentration will be on the works of Tolkien and Lewis, and their impact on twentieth and twenty-first century fiction, we will also consider the circumstances of their lives and friendship with each other and the group known as the Inklings.
