The creative genius of J.R.R Tolkien will be the focus of a major new exhibition opening at the University of Oxford's Bodleian Libraries in 2018.
Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth will explore the full breadth of Tolkien's unique literary imagination from his creation of Middle-earth, the imagined world where The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and his other works are set, to his life and work as an artist, poet, medievalist and scholar of languages.
