In 1925, J.R.R. Tolkien was appointed as a Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford. This academic position allowed him to further his studies and research in Old English literature and language, which greatly influenced his later writing, particularly in creating the fictional languages of Middle-earth.
