The Good Guys & The Bad Guys, Gracia Fay Ellwood

Tolkien Journal

Considers the popularity of The Lord of the Rings, with its unfashionably clear division of good and evil, as in part due to its appeal to the deep human need for stories embodying archetypes. Applies Jungian analysis and the theories of Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade to the story.

Old Irish Influences Upon The Languages & Literature Of The Lord Of The Rings, Cory Seidman Panshin

Tolkien Journal

First looks at historical changes in Old Irish as possible sources for similar changes in the development of Sindarin from Quenya. Then considers the subject matter and rhyme scheme of “Eärendil,” Bilbo’s poem composed in Rivendell, and “Errantry,” its comic companion from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, as similar in structure and subject matter to Old Irish “voyages” poems.
