That's the one, Tuor! It's in Bournemouth, which is on the south coast of England, as you state. Go ahead with a new question!

Okay.

What is the significance of Maitland Street for JRRT?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-17-2005, 03:48 PM

Tolkien was born in a house on that street in Bloemfontein S. Africa, I believe.

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-17-2005, 05:19 PM

Correct. Your turn.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-18-2005, 12:22 AM

What was the position JRRT accepted in 1925?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-25-2005, 08:54 PM

takers? no?

I believe that 1925 was the year that he moved to Oxford to take up the position of Professor of Anglo-Saxon and Fellow of Pembroke College.
