The Tolkien Professor

The Tolkien Professor podcast is a series of lectures, discussions, and seminars on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien by Corey Olsen, Assistant Professor of English at Washington College in Maryland. Find me on Facebook at “The Tolkien Professor,” on Twitter at @tolkienprof, or at my website at www.tolkienprofessor.com. I have also begun a grand new venture: the Mythgard Institute, offering courses on Tolkien studies for credit at the MA level, or just for fun! Join us at www.mythgard.org.

Silm Film 5-07 (06/18/20) House of Hador
Corey Olsen, Dave Kale, and Trish Lambert continue the pre-production process of developing season-long storylines for the Men of Beleriand. The House of Hador does not have the devoted relationship to the Elves that the House of Bëor do, nor are they as isolationist as the House of Haleth. In this session, the identity of the House of Hador is discussed, and a unique story for this house emerges. The roles of Hador and Amlach are discussed.

Silm Film 5-06 (06/04/20) House of Bëor
Corey Olsen and Trish Lambert continue the pre-production process of developing season-long storylines for the Men of Beleriand. The migration of the Men into Beleriand is not fully developed as a story, so we will need to create coherent storylines for each House, with characters that we care about. In this session, the goal is to decide how to handle Bëor and his relationship with the Elves of Nargothrond. Amlach's story is also discussed.

Silm Film 5-05 (05/21/2020)
Corey Olsen, Dave Kale, and Trish Lambert discuss the human stories in Season 5. Pre-production moves into discussing season-long storylines. For the Men, we will be focusing on stories for several 'hero' characters to embody the story of each House of the Edain. Potential condensed family trees are discussed. The focus of this session is on the storyline of Haleth and the Haladin, as they are the most isolated of the three Houses of the Edain.
