DID YOU MISS THE TOLKIEN CENTENARY LECTURE?

J. R. R. Tolkien 

2011 marks 100 years since J. R. R. Tolkien left King Edward's.  To commemorate the occasion, over 200 Old Edwardians and guests attended a special lecture in July given by Old Edwardian Tom Shippey (1961), who is perhaps the world's foremost literary critic of Tolkien's work.  Those who did not have a chance to attend can listen to a recording of the lecture here.
