Hobbits & the Shire Lore - Films explained from the Books' Perspective - LotR Lore & Tolkien Lore #2

Video Description

Today we dive a bit into the lore of the Shire from Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit", but also the culture of the Hobbits and the Red Book of Westmarch, which also appears in the first film - The Fellowship of the Ring of #LotR. There will be another Episode about the Shire and the Hobbits, so consider this the first part out of at least 2 Shire episodes. I try to go into a lot of detail with the #lore and background. So every thing #explained in-depth as always. Topics of this episode are as always Lore References for the in this episode covered part of the films, book differences, Hobbits and their culture in the Shire, Hobbit names and their origin, the Red Book of Westmarch, timeline and Shire-reckoning, stylistic devices, Westron and languages and a bit of shire geography. Gandalf's influence on the shire will be in next episode. I also explain some hobbits seen in the movies in context of the books, like Everard Proudfoot or Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger. A quite big and interesting part are the "true" names of Hobbits like Frodo (Maura) and Bilbo Baggins (Bilba Labingi), we learn about in the History of Middle-earth book, Peoples of Middle-earth by J. R. R. Tolkien. Idea behind this series: In this series I go bit by bit through the films and explain the Film's LotR lore with help of the books. i try to explain almost all lore references and details in-depth, but also film and book differences and behind the scenes elements (not in this episode though). This episode is a bit shorter and also a bit rushed (because of E3), so there will be some mistakes in it. Feel free to post them into the comment section.
