Constance Wagner, Writing Program

Prof. Constance Wagner, Director of the Writing Program, spoke at several panels within the Tolkien Track at this year’s DragonCon — a gathering of fantasy and science fiction fans, writers, artists and scholars. Her discussion topics at different talks covered the evolution of J.R.R. Tolkien’s writing process for The Lord of the Rings and also focused on the nature of sacrificial heroism in Middle-earth. Her book-in-progress, The War Within: Frodo as Sacrificial Hero, is forthcoming from Oloris Books.
