Prof. Joseph Loconte
Prof. Joseph Loconte, Ph.D., is the author of the bestseller A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War: How J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Rediscovered Faith, Friendship, and Heroism in the Cataclysm of 1914-1918 and director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at the Heritage Foundation. He is also an AWC Family Foundation Fellow. Professor Loconte opens our eyes to the unforgettable, revolutionary friendship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien in his NYT bestselling book, A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War. His book goes into how the war shaped both authors, and what it was like for them during WWI. Prof. Joseph Loconte is arguing his case that those “boring, ancient” classics are actually still around for a reason. For one, they are quite good!
