How Tolkien Connected Middle-earth to Us | Frame Narrative, Red Book, Ælfwine - Building a World

Описание: Tolkien uses a frame narrative in the telling of his legendarium, from The Silmarillion, to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and today, we explore just how Tolkien uses characters such as Ælfwine and Bilbo (among others) to accomplish this! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on the frame narrative device in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
