Dan Timmons
Dec. 23rd, 2003 04:48 pmOne of the speakers at the Gathering of the Fellowship convention in Toronto was Dan Timmons, a teacher at Ryerson in Toronto, and a Tolkien scholar.
I found all of his comments interesting but he mentioned in passing that he believed that Tolkien had been truly divinely inspired in The Lord of the Rings, and I would have loved to have known what he had meant by it, and what significance he felt this had. Unfortunately the panel passed on to another speaker (one less articulate and original) and I will quite possibly never know.
