The Philosophy and History Behind Lord of the Rings

This episode dives beneath Middle Earth's surface to reveal the profound historical and philosophical foundations Tolkien embedded as an Oxford professor of Anglo-Saxon literature. What appears as a "silly fairy tale" actually represents both a perfect exemplification of its era AND timeless wisdom that transcends even Tolkien's intentions.
