Fact and Fiction is back with a very special trilogy! Join us as we screen the second film in the Lord of the Rings series, along with a lightning lecture on J.R.R. Tolkien's Nordic and Norse inspirations.
About the Lightning Lecture:
Helmets and Halls in The Two Towers
Dr. Colin Connors explores inspirations for Tolkien’s Riders of Rohan [Rohirrim] with a closer look at medieval archaeology, including grave goods from Vendel and Valgårde in Sweden and Sutton Hoo, England, with a nod as well to Viking-age architecture.
