Going North And West To Watch The Dragons Dance: Norse And Celtic Elements In Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea Trilogy, Christine K. Thompson

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

Sees the world-view of Earthsea, as well as much of the symbolism, characteristic of pre-Christian Nordic and Celtic thought. Focus on present life rather than future is a significant theme.

A Philologist At The North Pole: J.R.R. Tolkien And The Father Christmas Letters, Paul Nolan Hyde

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

Analyzes some elements of The Father Christmas Letters to show the degree of perfectionism and philological logic that were used to create verisimilitude, even for such lesser elements of Tolkien’s oeuvre.

The Rhetorical Similarities Of C.S. Lewis And Bertrand Russell, Don King

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

Analyzes the writings of the philosophically opposed Lewis and Russell to show how their similar use of rhetorical devices gives their popular writings a similarity of tone.

C.S. Lewis And The Lion: Primitivism And Archetype In The Chronicles Of Narnia, Sue Matheson

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

A reading of the Narnian chronicles as fantasy, not Christian allegory, and notes “the tension between allegory and symbol” in the Chronicles. Sees the character of Aslan, and his use of magic, as the “primordial image” which gives the fantasy its power.

The Psychology Of Power In Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings, Orwell's 1984 And Le Guin's A Wizard Of Earthsea, Mason Harris

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

Argues that despite their differences, Tolkien and Orwell share a similar response to absolute power, as “parallel evolution in the imagination of two humane British fantasists with an interest in the moral implications of politics.” Sees A Wizard of Earthsea as dealing with a similar problem but in psychological terms constrained by the coming-of-age theme.

Accepting The Romantics As Philosophers, Michael Fischer

English Faculty Research

The Romantics are not widely regarded as philosophers, at least not in philosophy departments, where they are seldom taught. Some of the reasons behind this exclusion of the Romantics involve a general disdain for literature; other reasons suggest a more specific uneasiness with Romanticism itself—with its apparent interest in animism, its self-indulgence, its coolness toward reason, and, perhaps above all, its refusal to abide by Kant's containment of skepticism. These complaints are not the invention of paranoid or obtuse academic philosophers (as some literary critics might like to think). In fact, some of these objections have dogged the Romantics from …

Text And Context: Teaching Native American Literature, Diane Hoeveler

English Faculty Research and Publications

Silence is a major value in Native American culture, for silence is the token of acceptance, the symbol of peace and serenity, and the outward expression of harmony between the human and natural worlds. The result of this tradition of silence, however, is a limited written record, a limited number of texts produced by Native Americans themselves. This situation allowed the Anglo to step into the void and speak for Native Americans themselves, or more accurately, to claim to speak as their "interpreters." The implication that white culture drew from the lack of a written language in any of the …
