The Immortal Memory Of George Eliot, Jonathan Ouvry

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

Having been aware, for some time, that I was about to undergo what I thought would be an ordeal, but which I realise may even turn out to be an enjoyable experience, I have been looking out for ways and means of getting through my allotted time without too much difficulty. I was delighted, therefore, to observe a distinguished visitor to the Huguenot Society at a recent meeting. Evidently an experienced academic, he knew just what to do.

The Rings Of Power, Melanie Rawls

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

Examines how Tolkien’s rings of power “evolved until they bear little resemblance to the magic rings” of folk-tales. Using information on the nature of the One Ring and other “statements and clues planted by Tolkien,” speculates on “how the Seven and the Nine acted upon their keepers.”

Speaking In Parables, Kath Filmer

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

Examines how Lewis achieves the many levels of meaning in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by “use of mythic characters, references to everyday aspects of British culture, and Biblical symbolism.” Shows how Lewis “maintains the close relationship between these elements [...] and the form of the Fairy Tale”—creating a parable.

Charles Williams And Second-Hand Paganism, Judith Kollmann

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

Argues that unlike Lewis and Tolkien, who incorporate true pagan worldviews into their works as imperfect precursors of Christianity, Williams uses superficially pagan elements that are really a product of the Judeo-Christian world. Williams’s portrayal of the pagan/occult is more negative, while showing the attractiveness of such power.

Repossessing The Past: Discontinuity And History In Alfred Kazin's A Walker In The City, John D. Hazlett

The structure of Kazin's A Walker in the City is based upon two quests: the child self is seeking an American identity and access to history; the adult self is seeking to recapture the lost, earlier self and to "escape" from history. The article discusses narrative strategy and the relationship between concepts of history and the re-creation of the self in twentieth century autobiography.
