REG TALKS is our exclusive termly lunchtime webinar with Regent's academics, only for our alumni community.
This term, Dr Mark Atherton will be giving the lecture: 'There and Back Again: How and Why J. R. R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit', on Tuesday 26 May, 12pm.
Dr Atherton is a Senior Lecturer in English Language at Regent's, and a member of the Oxford Tolkien Network. This talk is inspired by his 2012 book, There and Back Again: J. R. R. Tolkien and the Origins of The Hobbit, and more recent work.
The pre-recorded lecture will be followed by a live Q&A where you can engage directly with Dr Atherton and ask all your pressing Hobbit and Tolkien-related questions!
