The Green Sun: A Study Of Color In J.R.R. Tolkien’S The Lord Of The Rings, Miriam Y. Miller

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Considers the fact that Tolkien rarely uses any but unadulterated basic color names (red, white, yellow, etc.) and gave unusually positive associations to neutral brown and grey. Also considers Tolkien’s use of color in character identity and heraldry, and traces some of this to literature Tolkien studied as a scholar, as well as his interest and abilities in graphic arts.

Heaven And Other Perilous Realms, Richard L. Purtill

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Examines the ways the short story “Leaf by Niggle” differs from other works by Tolkien: primarily because it is a more obvious allegory, but also because of the clear way the allegory is worked out morally, aesthetically, and religiously. Considers the story as “midway between the essay [OFS] where Tolkien talks about his work, and most of his other fiction and poetry, where he simply gets on with it.”

William Morris's The Wood Beyond The World: The Victorian World Vs. The Mythic Eternities, Clarence Wolfshohl

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Analysis of the character of the maiden in The Wood Beyond the World. Notes that as a woman both chaste and possessed of wizardly powers—like her decidedly unchaste counterpart, the Mistress—she engenders a degree of tension and uncertainty until the end of the novel. Sees Morris’s attitudes toward sex and society in terms of his Victorian background.
