Charles Williams And Second-Hand Paganism, Judith Kollmann
Charles Williams And Second-Hand Paganism, Judith Kollmann
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Argues that unlike Lewis and Tolkien, who incorporate true pagan worldviews into their works as imperfect precursors of Christianity, Williams uses superficially pagan elements that are really a product of the Judeo-Christian world. Williams’s portrayal of the pagan/occult is more negative, while showing the attractiveness of such power.
Speaking In Parables, Kath Filmer
Speaking In Parables, Kath Filmer
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Examines how Lewis achieves the many levels of meaning in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by “use of mythic characters, references to everyday aspects of British culture, and Biblical symbolism.” Shows how Lewis “maintains the close relationship between these elements [...] and the form of the Fairy Tale”—creating a parable.
The Rings Of Power, Melanie Rawls
The Rings Of Power, Melanie Rawls
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Examines how Tolkien’s rings of power “evolved until they bear little resemblance to the magic rings” of folk-tales. Using information on the nature of the One Ring and other “statements and clues planted by Tolkien,” speculates on “how the Seven and the Nine acted upon their keepers.”

Halfe Like A Serpent: The Green Witch In The Silver Chair, Nancy-Lou Patterson
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Contends that The Silver Chair presents “a complete feminine structure [...] in which the prevalent symbol of woman receives full expression.” This full expression is achieved with the Green Witch as the villain and Jill Pole as the heroine.
