EPISODE NOTES
Thanks to our guests, Dr. Sarah C. Schaefer and Dr. William M. Fliss, the co-curator’s of “J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript” at the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University.

On Thursday, November 17, 2022 John Garth presented Whispering Leaves; How Tolkien's Manuscripts Reveal the Secrets of His Creativity lecture. Trained as a journalist, John Garth has gained an international reputation as a leading writer about J.R.R. Tolkien and a popular commentator on Tolkien’s works and life. Garth's published works include the recent The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien (2020). His earlier masterpiece, Tolkien and the Great War (2003), is universally acknowledged as a classic in the field of Tolkien Studies. Garth, who has made a special study of Tolkien’s manuscripts, focused his lecture on a manuscript that is part of Marquette’s collection and has never previously been exhibited or published. He demonstrated his renowned historical research skills by analyzing the manuscript and used it to tease out insights about Tolkien’s experiences during the Second World War.

The exhibition co-curators of “J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript” will host a catalog signing at the Haggerty Museum of Art on Saturday, Dec. 17, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to celebrate the last full weekend of the exhibit.
