Tolkien On Fantasy In Smith Of Wootton Major, Margaret Sammons

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

Analyzes Smith of Wootton Major as a statement of Tolkien’s theories on fantasy writing, particularly on the nature of Faerie, and notes autobiographical elements related to Tolkien’s writing career, especially his concern about finishing his legendarium in the time left to him. (Note: the issue gives her first name as Margaret, which is incorrect.)

Saruman, ‘Sharkey,’ And Suruman: Analogous Figures Of Eastern Ingenuity And Cunning, J. S. Ryan

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

Speculates about linguistic connotations of Saruman-Sharkey, especially Suruman (vassal of an ancient Assyrian king) and various etymologies of “shark.”

Mythopoesis, Sarah Beach

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

Discusses heroes and heroines in fantasy as Types and as symbols of the Quest.

The Trans-Cosmic Journeys In The Chronicles Of Narnia, Steven Yandell

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

Focuses on the journeys between worlds in the Chronicles of Narnia, presenting a chart of more than 60 such journeys. Notes participants, method of transport, starting and ending place and time, and surrounding circumstances. Develops geographies of the worlds and their relationships, and discusses the functions of these journeys in terms of plot. Maps and charts.

Arwen, Shadow Bride, Melanie Rawls

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

Sees Arwen’s story as a “cautionary tale against passivity.” By taking no part in the achieving of Aragorn’s kingdom or the risks and rewards of the Ring quest, she has not developed the character or true understanding of mortality (and what lies beyond death) that would make her end less tragic.

Quenti Lambardillion: A Column On Middle-Earth Linguistics, Paul Nolan Hyde

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

Discussion of transcription of “Bombadil poem” reproduced in 1978 Silmarillion Calendar, and what it reveals about the orthography of the writing system used and the differing dialects represented.

Tolkien And Chesterton: Some Analogies, Thomas Egan

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

Examines links between Chesterton and Tolkien “developing from a mutually strong religious conviction as regards their Catholicism, especially in its medieval historical experience.” Sees a number of parallels between Chesterton’s poem “The Ballad of the White Horse” and the values and events of Tolkien’s major work.

Ilúvatar And The Secret Fire, Paul Kocher

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

Identifies the “Secret Fire” and “Flame Imperishable” in Tolkien’s different versions of Arda’s creation (and elsewhere in The Silmarillion) with the Holy Spirit. Sees Eru as a three-Persons-in-one-God deity compatible with Roman Catholic doctrine.
