Does anybody know what subject Tolkien taught at Oxford (was it Oxford) university?

LePetitChoux · 11-03-2002, 02:57 PM

I think-yes, I'm pretty sure it was ancient english, or smth like that.
I magine having been actually TAUGHT by him, having seen him at least once a week for 3 years or so? *drools messily*

I would probably have been a better writer if he had taught me!

eh? What the...?

Sorry if I am mistaken but drooling usually either implies old age or you are atracted to someone. It depends on when you would have had him as a teacher but A- he was probebly married and B- Do you really think that he is like, hot?

Drools like, drooling Homer Simpson for Doughnuts. it doesnt mean he's attracted to the doughnut in any way apart from eating it: he really really would like to eat the doughnut. In the same way I'd LOVE to have JRRT is as a teacher/friend. I do not in any way love him except for his abilities as an author.

Was I right about his subject by the way?
