Welcome To Our New 'Tour Guide' Page

Yorkshire Luminary: Joseph Wright
/
Joseph Wright, a name you might not be familiar with. He caught my eye because the fact that there is a German, English, French and Chinese translation of his wikipedia page means he is known internationally. Also I thought I can, at least, have an easy read in Chinese. Little did I know, I would find a fantastic story of an English philologist who rose from humble origins to become Professor of Comparative Philology at Oxford University and a great influencer of The Lord of the Ring’s author J. R. R Tolkien.
