Mythlore Issue 77, Glen H. Goodknight

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

Why is this issue of Mythlore only one sheet?

Because of the above, with extreme discomfort we must put out this one sheet issue of Mythlore in an attempt to comply with Second Class (Periodicals) mailing requirements. This issue will not count against the number of issues due to be received by subscribers. This means that if you were due to expire with this numbered issue, your subscription will be extended to the next issue. If you were due to expire with the next issue, your subscription will be extended to the one following the next one, etc.

Analysis of Middle-earth’s environmental equivalents to our world, by climate and dominant vegetation. Notes that Tolkien’s descriptions of the ecology of his Secondary World must be based on “years of close and thoughtful observation of nature”—particularly when describing transitions from one ecological niche to another.

The Mythical Method Of Descent Into Hell, Evans Lansing Smith

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

Considers Williams’s Descent Into Hell as an excellent “example of the use of the mythical method [as defined by T.S. Eliot] as a metaphor of poesis, by which the fundamental forms of the imagination are catalyzed.” Geometrical symbolism and the underworld journey link it to many modernist works.
