The Oxford English School is an essay written by J.R.R. Tolkien that was published in The Oxford Magazine on 29 May 1930. In it, he discusses how the English syllabus fails students, as well as his suggestions to fix it. He also talks about how "literature" and "language" are divided. It is difficult to find information about this particular essay, but it excerpts of it were reprinted in The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide: Reader's Guide[1], released on 11 November 2006 for the UK, and 6 October 2006 for the US.[2]
