Providence & Free Will In The History Of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth, Steven Smith

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The three books J.R.R. Tolkien has written about his imaginary world of Middle-earth, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, have a common element. In all thre& books, he presents the characters and their adventures within an historical framework which he has structured according to the four principles of Christian history: periodization, universality, apocalypse, and providence. While this historical perspective serves to give his fantasized world "an inner consistence of reality," it also frames one of the main themes of his stories: the relationship between Divine Providence and free will in a world containing good …

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.

Encounter With Otherness : Nature And Identity In Rolvaag's Giants In The Earth, Beatrice Jensen Smith

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Ole Edvart Rolvaag, the Norwegian-American novelist of the immigrant experience, is recognized primarily for one work, Giants in the Earth, frequently accredited the novel that deals most effectively with the human cost underlying the glorious national achievement of westward expansion. Though the estimate is a positive one, by being categorized so succinctly, Giants is in some danger of being. perfunctorily dismissed as an excellent frontier novel and little else.

Though Rolvaag, by his own statement, intended to memorialize the human tragedies so easily forgotten in the onrush of settlement, the implications of his narrative go far beyond the historical …

Hierarchy And The Self In The Trilogy Of C. S. Lewis, Connie R. Phillips

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

C.S. Lewis' view of the individual in a hierarchical universe is not simply the restatement of a static medieval ideal. In his trilogy he presents the unfolding of the hierarchical view of the universe, with emphasis on time and the growth of the self into a model of universal reality.

If Lewis be found guilty of "historicism," it must be in his belief that man and nature are losing their neutrality, that good and evil are becoming more separated, more distinct. The growing bifurcation and consequences of two opposing views of the individual form a tension in Lewis' work. Much …

Reacting to a description of Narnia as analogous to Southern France, argues that “for Lewis, the way to God lay through the North,” and Narnia is a Northern landscape. Discusses at length the symbolism of North and South in various mythologies, and touches on the significance of Northernness in Tolkien and Williams as well.
