"Tolkien is widely regarded as the most influential author on the fantasy
genre… period. But one of the less-discussed aspects of his work is the way
Tolkien used constructed language in his writing.
Nowadays authors are constantly making up words and languages for the worlds
they build, but Tolkien was unique in that he constructed languages first, and
then created worlds so his fictional languages would have somewhere to live.
Hosted by Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes,
It’s Lit! is a show about our
favorite books, genres and why we love to read.
It’s Lit has been made
possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the
human endeavor."
