This discussion forum is hosted by the UNM Hobbit Society at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, USA. The purpose of our group is to meet and associate with others interested in Tolkien, and to learn more about the author, his written works, and his sources through discussion, guest lectures and academically oriented activities. This blog is intended to expand discussion among UNM Hobbit Society members beyond what meeting times allow.
How does some knowledge of Tolkien's medieval sources aid or change your understanding of his fiction? Why is it important to study such influences in a class such as ours? Or maybe it is not important? Feel free to argue either position!
