In The Forge Of Los: Tolkien And The Art Of Creative Fantasy, Mary Aileen Schmiel

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

Relates the final stage of the hero-journey, bringing back the boon, to the role of the artist in maintaining a sense of Recovery in our relationship with the world.

The Figure Of Taliesin In Charles Williams' Arthuriad, Richard Woods

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

Discusses Taliesin as a historical personage and as a legendary and mythological figure, and specifically the sources for Williams’s portrayal of Taliesin in his Arthurian poetry. Speculates on why Williams chose Taliesin as the “romantic focus” of his poems, how he conceived his role, and why he departed from traditional sources.

The Artist As Magician: Yeats, Joyce, And Tolkien, Dominic Manganiello

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

Examines the significance of symbolism of transcendence in several works by Yeats and Joyce, and ties this to theories of consolation and eucatastrophe in Tolkien’s “On Fairy-stories.” Finds Tolkien’s theory of sub-creation more fulfilling than their view of the artist as a creator.

The Making Of Things Other Than The Self: Revelation And Creation In Descent Into Hell, Randy L. Dejaynes

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

A Jungian analysis of the development of three characters in Descent Into Hell. The motif of creation is applied to the self and “the possibility of creating one’s Self by means of applied revelation.” Wentworth and Adela fail because they “do not create the Self, but rather allow the Self to be created by their unconscious projections.”
