About the program
A literary and linguistic study of the elf in folklore and in modern fantasy, from Norse alfar to the invented languages of twentieth-century fiction. Students read epics in translation, learn the grammar of two invented Elvish languages, and study how songs and lineages carry a culture's memory.
