The Origins of Fantasy.- A Soup with Distance and Time: On Fairy Stories, Part 2
Diving into what the origin of fairy stories is, we realize--once again--that Tolkien doesn't give us an encyclopedic answer, but instead lays out some boundaries that help us better understand where fairy story comes from--and what it needs to have.
It's a thought-provoking episode this week as we continue to dissect this incredibly important essay Tolkien wrote!
In our members-only episode (https://theonering.com/members) we:
* How the Rings of Power fails with incantational adjectives
* Why time and distance in fairy stories matters
* Why Peter Jackson had a better understanding of fairy story, and adhered better to the "soup" of fairy story than any other sub-created version of Middle-earth
