The Green Sun: A Study Of Color In J.R.R. Tolkien’S The Lord Of The Rings, Miriam Y. Miller

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

Considers the fact that Tolkien rarely uses any but unadulterated basic color names (red, white, yellow, etc.) and gave unusually positive associations to neutral brown and grey. Also considers Tolkien’s use of color in character identity and heraldry, and traces some of this to literature Tolkien studied as a scholar, as well as his interest and abilities in graphic arts.

Banquet At Belbury: Festival And Horror In That Hideous Strength, Nancy-Lou Patterson

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

Answers criticism of Lewis for setting up “caricatures” of villains in That Hideous Strength and then killing them hideously at the Belbury banquet. Notes “the contrast of festival and horror is [...] a very old element in literature and human culture” and the relationship of humans to animals is appropriate to Romance as Frye defines it. Includes a map of Edgestow by Patterson.
