In addition, this website was designed to aid in the discussion and discovery of J.R.R. Tolkien and his works in general, but especially as they pertain to courses taught by Dr. Donovan. It is also a Tolkien fan site. Because it is frequently under redesign, you will find information relevant to students from classes taught by Dr. Donovan as well as media that you would expect to find on a fan site (i.e. pics, movies, articles, news, etc...). Check back often for changes, and upcoming events...
