The Hobbit Free Audio Course

In this free course provided by iTunes U on audio download, Corey Olsen offers a thorough, chapter by chapter discussion of J.R.R. TolkienвЂ™s The Hobbit, discussing character, plot, and thematic elements in lovingly exhaustive detail. Olsen stresses TolkienвЂ™s careful choice of words, the importance of poetry and music in The Hobbit and the careful tonal balance the author keeps between whimsical prose and serious subject matter. In the end, Bilbo BagginsвЂ™ journey mirrors the readerвЂ™s journey from mundane every-day existence to an ever-expanding vista that becomes more fantastic, more magical and more dangerous as the story progresses. With Peter JacksonвЂ™s The Hobbit film adaptation coming to a close, this course is a perfect way to dig into the source material, learn more about TolkienвЂ™s work, and explore how The Hobbit fits into the grander story told with the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
