181 - J.R.R. Tolkien and the Long Defeat

What does the future hold? What has been let go by the past? How should we view the moving horizon? In this episode, I draw from Tolkien's letters, The Lord of the Rings, and his essays, "The Monsters and the Critics" and "On Fairy-Stories," to discuss his concept of The Long Defeat.
