MYTHLORE INDEX PLUS :
An Index to Selected Publications of
The Mythopoeic Society
THE HISTORY OF MYTHLORE
Mythlore was founded in 1969 by the late Glen GoodKnight, Founder of the Mythopoeic Society. He
edited its first 84 issues, with the exception of issues 18–23, which were edited by Gracia Fay Ellwood. In
its early years, Mythlore was a “fanzine” that, in addition to scholarly articles, columns, and book and
media reviews, included a great deal of art work, poetry, and other creative work. Over the years, the
articles became more and more exclusively scholarly, and the creative work and fiction reviews moved
to sister publications like Mythprint and Mythic Circle. When Dr. Theodore Sherman of Middle Tennessee
State University assumed the editorship with issue 85 in 1999, Mythlore completed its transformation into
a refereed scholarly journal publishing only articles and reviews. At that time, its format also changed
from 8½” x 11” to 6½” x 9”. Janet Brennan Croft, currently of Rutgers University, became editor in 2006
and switched to a double-issue format. The journal was published in two double issues per year, in
approximately April and November through Spring 2013. In Fall 2013 the double issue numbering was
dropped and electronic subscriptions became available for individuals.
Mythlore is fully indexed in the MLA International Bibliography and Expanded Academic ASAP, and
partially indexed in other titles in the EBSCOhost, OCLC, Thomson Reuters, and Gale families. It is
abstracted in the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature and Bibliographic Index. The full
text of Mythlore from 2002 onward is available in several Gale databases and from 2006 onward in several
EBSCOHost and Chadwyck-Healey databases. It also has been indexed but dropped at different times
by several other current indexes, including Arts and Humanities Citation Index and Current Contents, as
well as by some indexes which no longer publish, such as Abstracts of English Studies and Children’s
Literature Abstracts. However, since none of these services indexes or abstracts the entire run of Mythlore,
nor do they index at the level of subject specificity our readers would find most helpful, we felt that
creating our own index was an essential service for scholars and readers of mythopoeic literature.
THE HISTORY OF TOLKIEN JOURNAL
Tolkien Journal merged with Mythlore in 1976, and the two journals produced several joint issues. Tolkien
Journal was started by New York Tolkien Society founder Richard Plotz in 1965, and was intended to be
a quarterly publication consisting mainly of “articles, scholarly or light, having any connection with
Tolkien,” including articles on Tolkien’s connections with C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams. With the
next issue, the group was renamed the Tolkien Society of America, having grown quickly to 156
members, including the poet W.H. Auden. With the third issue, artwork was added, and the fourth issue
was the first to include fanfiction. Occasional reviews were added in issue #10. There was also an active
letters column.
Dick Plotz stepped down after issue 8 and Ed Meškys took over the society and the journal. Issue 11
was a joint issue with Orcrist, the bulletin of the University of Wisconsin Tolkien Society, and edited by
Richard C. West. Issue 12 was a joint issue of Tolkien Journal and Mythlore, but not a merger. The next two
issues were also joint Orcrist/Tolkien Journal joint issues, again edited by West. (Orcrist continued for three
Mythlore Index Plus  1
Introduction
more issues after this, ceasing publication in 1977.) In issue 15, Meškys announced the permanent merger
of the Tolkien Society of America with the Mythopoeic Society and of Tolkien Journal with Mythlore. Glen
GoodKnight became editor with the next issue, and the Tolkien Journal name and issue numbering was
added to the masthead for the next three numbers. With Mythlore 12, the new subtitle “A Journal of J.R.R.
Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams Studies” replaced Tolkien Journal on the table of contents page.
Since none of the stand-alone issues of Tolkien Journal are indexed in the MLA Bibliography, we hope
this supplementary index will help users locate the articles which were published at times when Tolkien
Journal did not appear as a joint issue with Mythlore or Orcrist (which are indexed, albeit not in their
entirety, in MLA), and provide more useful subject headings than MLA for the specialist.
Back issues of both journals are available from the Mythopoeic Society’s website (with the exception
of Mythlore 80, which is out of print).
MYTHCON CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGs
Only a few Mythcon proceedings have been published; after Mythcon III, presenters were encouraged
to submit their papers to Mythlore instead. The proceedings are indexed in their entirety, which means
that poetry, conference reports, and Middle-earth studies articles are included. (However, there are only
a few of each and they are clearly designated in the index.) Artwork on the covers and in the interiors is
not included. Proceedings from the following conferences are indexed:
 Narnia Conference: November 29, 1969, at Palms Park, West Los Angeles, CA
 Mythcon I: September 4–7, 1970, at Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA
 Mythcon II: September 3–6, 1971, at Francisco Torres Conference Center, Santa Barbara, CA
 Mythcon III: June 30–July 4, 1972, at Edgewater Hyatt House, Long Beach, CA, in conjunction
with Westercon XXV
 Mythcon XVI: July 26–29, 1985, at Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL
 Mythcon XXIII: August 17–24, 1992, Keble College, Oxford, England: the Tolkien Centenary
Conference, co-sponsored by The Tolkien Society
 Mythcon XXIX: July 15–20, 1998, at Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL.
The Proceedings of Mythcon XXIII were published as a joint issue of Mythlore and Mallorn (Mythlore
whole number 80), and are so designated in the Index, though scholars often cite the included articles as
proceedings papers rather than journal articles.
Proceedings of the Narnia Conference and the first three Mythcons are available for sale on the
society website under Mythcon Proceedings and Program Books. The Mythcon XXIX C.S. Lewis/Owen
Barfield Souvenir Book is a special case—it is not technically a proceedings, but nevertheless includes
some material that should be indexed, in particular the bibliographies and an item by Barfield himself.
It is also available in the Mythcon Proceedings and Program Books section of the online store.
The Proceedings for Mythcon XVI, however, is not available for sale—it was never formally printed
but is simply a mimeographed collection of papers with an overall pagination that exists in a few scattered
copies. All but six of the items collected were later reprinted in Mythlore, and these versions should be
preferred for citation purposes as the most official, revised, and polished versions. (When this is the case,
the citation for the later reprinting is included in the entry.) However, this collection is held in several
libraries and collections, and because of the six never-published items I felt it was important to include it
in its entirety. At this writing, copies are known to be held at Hope College, the Wade Center at Wheaton
College, and the special collections at Marquette University.

Introduction
THE HISTORY OF THE MYTHOPOEIC PRESS
A Press associated with the Society was first proposed in the 1970s but did not come to fruition until the
late 1990s. Diana Pavlac Glyer’s formal proposal for its founding was discussed at the November 1996
Stewards’ Meeting of the Mythopoeic Society. Glyer was the first Press Steward, and she has been
followed in the position by Joan Marie Verba, Scott McLaren, David Oberhelman, and Leslie A. Donovan.
Prior to 2004, the Mythopoeic Press exclusively produced previously unpublished works by authors
associated with the Inklings, along with additional scholarly materials such as introductions and
bibliographies. With the completion of Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, the Press felt it was time to move into
the area of original scholarship with the publication of an essay collection on the films. After the success
of this project, edited collections have become a regular part of the Press’s mission. The books included
in this index are:

THE HISTORY OF THE INDEX PROJECT
This index began as a sabbatical project by Edith Crowe in 1999. While on leave from San Jose State
University Library, she prepared handwritten index sheets for the articles, artwork, poetry, letters, and
fiction in Mythlore 1–84, exclusive of issue 80, the Centenary Proceedings issue. (Crowe would like to
officially acknowledge her gratitude to SJSU for their support of this project, and appreciation for their
patience in waiting for it to see daylight.) When the publication of issue 99/100 loomed on the horizon,
Croft proposed creating an index to the entire run. Fortunately, Crowe heard about it in time to offer her
index sheets and prevent a great deal of duplicated effort. A small run of a second edition of the index
including issue 101/102 was later printed as well. Croft completed the Tolkien Journal portions of the index
during her own sabbatical in 2009 and continues to update the master index as each issue appears. In 2012,
Mythlore Index Plus  3
Introduction
Croft added published Mythcon Conference Proceedings and essays from Mythopoeic Press critical
anthologies for this third and greatly revised edition of the index. Also in 2012, Leslie A. Donovan,
Mythopoeic Press Editor, formatted it to offer as an electronic download. In 2014, Croft added the
remaining Mythpoeic Press books.
THE SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF THIS INDEX
This index is designed for the use of scholars and serious readers of mythopoeic fiction. It covers
primarily articles, essays, and reviews published in Mythlore. It generally does not include poetry or
fiction (with an exception for a few rare pieces by Inkling Charles Williams), artwork, introductions, or
conference reports. Letters are included after issue 93/94. Pure Middle-earth studies articles, published
in some early Mythlore issues, are also omitted (that is, articles which are based on the premise that
Middle-earth exists or existed in the prehistory of the primary world) unless they have some intrinsic
scholarly value.
Some Mythlore columns are indexed in their entirety in either the article or review section as
appropriate; for example, Alexei Kondratiev’s “Tales Newly Told” is indexed under reviews, Paul Nolan
Hyde’s “Quenti Lambadillion” under articles, and Lee Speth’s “Cavalier Treatment” under whichever
fits the individual column’s subject matter best. Some are only indexed when the subject matter is
scholarly rather than purely editorial; in this category are Sarah Beach’s “Mythopoesis” and various
editors’ columns, though some anniversary histories of the society are included. Bibliographies are
indexed with articles if historical or with reviews if contemporary.
As the table of contents indicates, there are five sections to the index. Articles are indexed by author,
title, and subject. Abstracts are included in the author index only, and authors’ first names are
abbreviated in the title and subject indexes. Reviews are indexed by author of the review and by author
of the item reviewed. Review authors’ first names are abbreviated in the reviewed item index.
Since Croft and Crowe are both librarians, it was natural for us to use Library of Congress-style
subject headings. As these are hierarchical, the user will start with a broad subject and work down to the
specific level—for example:
 Lewis, C.S. The Voyage of the ‘Dawn Treader’—Sources
 Tolkien, J.R.R.—Characters—Gollum—Motivation
 Williams, Charles—Friends and associates—Dorothy L. Sayers
As far as the technical process is concerned, Croft used the bibliographic program EndNote and
worked from Crowe’s sheets and from the journal itself, making an entry for each individual item. The
entries were then exported to WordPad and thence to Microsoft Word, or in the case of the subject and
items reviewed indexes, where there might be multiple headings for one item, to Excel, duplicated and
sorted, and thence to Word. Our particular thanks are due to the Mythpopoeic Press editorial board for
their careful proofreading of the initial files, especially Rob Stroud and Joe R. Christopher.
OTHER MINDS AND HANDS
This project is not truly a complete index to everything that has ever appeared in Mythlore. We are
publishing this under a Creative Commons license in order to encourage “other minds and hands” to
help us expand and improve it. Here are some areas that remain to be indexed, and which could be added
to future editions of this index:
Mythlore Index Plus  4
Introduction
 Art, fiction, and poetry, working from Crowe’s sheets.
 Letters, both by author and subject, again from Crowe’s sheets.
 Analytical entries for each item in regular review columns that reviewed multiple items.
Primarily this would be the “Inklings Bibliography” series by Joe R. Christopher and others,
and Bernie Zuber’s early fanzine reviews. Croft has begun this project.
 Columns not included in this index.
If you are interested in tackling any of these projects, please contact us! Additionally, we would be
delighted to correct any errors you spot. Please send email to [email protected]. We would also like
to take this opportunity to thank the other minds and hands that have already contributed, especially the
members of the Mythopoeic Press Board who proofread the first edition text.
THE FUTURE OF THIS INDEX
We hope to eventually develop an online, fully searchable version of this index. Croft will be creating
updates to the index as each issue of Mythlore or collection of essays is published, and the Mythopoeic
Press will publish new editions in PDF format, until such time as an online, searchable version of this
index becomes a reality.
A PERSONAL NOTE
Preparing this index has been, and continues to be, a delightful experience, though perhaps only a former
cataloger can say that with a straight face! It has certainly been an education to read through the
hundreds of fascinating articles published in Mythlore, Tolkien Journal, the MythPress books, and the
Proceedings over their long history. The reviews have made me wish I had the time to read all the
wonderful books about which the reviewers waxed so enthusiastic. A heartfelt thanks to all who have
been associated with Mythlore over the years and given all our subscribers such joy!

Abbott, Joe. “Tolkien’s Monsters: Concept and Function in The Lord of the Rings.” [Part III: Sauron]. Mythlore 16.3 (#61) (1990):
51–59
Three-part examination of “how Tolkien’s theory of the centrality of the monsters in Beowulf influenced his own concept of
‘monster’ and what function that concept should fulfill within” The Lord of the Rings. Part I analyzes the literary function of
Gandalf’s battle with the Balrog in Khazad-dûm. Part II considers the characteristics of Shelob (and Ungoliant) as monsters,
traces the sources and development of these characteristics, and analyzes the importance of the confrontation with Shelob
in the overall plot, especially in the character development of Sam. The conclusion traces the development of the character
of Sauron through preliminary versions in The History of Middle-earth and analyzes the climactic episode at Mount Doom in
terms of Sauron’s success as monster and Frodo’s as hero.
Abrahamson, Megan B. “J.R.R. Tolkien, Fanfiction, and ‘The Freedom of the Reader.’” Mythlore 32.1 (#123) (2013): 53–72.
Student paper award, Mythcon 2013. Abrahamson makes a particularly convincing case for the validity of fanfiction by
applying Tolkien’s own statements about the “dominion of the author,” the “Cauldron of Story,” and subcreation to the
issue. Discusses Tolkien’s experiences with early fanwork and his own use of sources as an author.
Adderley, C.M. “Meeting Morgan le Fay: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Theory of Subcreation and the Secondary World of Sir Gawain
and the Green Knight.” Mythlore 22.4 (#86) (2000): 48–58.
Applies Tolkien’s theories of the artist as a sub-creator and of the artist’s creation as a secondary world to the Middle English
alliterative poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
Adderley, C.M. “Preliminary Matters: The Neglected Preludes to Charles Williams’ Arthuriad.” Mythlore 21.1 (#79) (1995): 23–28.
Detailed explication of the “Prelude” in Taliessen through Logres and Region of the Summer Stars. Notes that much of the
perceived difficulty understanding these poems is the lack of general knowledge of the historical and theological points of
the Christian church to which they refer.
Agan, Cami. “Hearkening to the Other: A Certeauvian Reading of the Ainulindalë.” Mythlore 34.1 (#127) (2015): 117–38.
Applying literary theory to authors whose works interest us is “a kind of play that attunes us to the interior movements,
voices, and processes” of their work. Analyzes the Ainulindalë using the literary-historical theoretical framework of Michel
de Certeau as a way of understanding how the inhabitants of Arda, not just the readers outside the world, comprehend how
they are situated in their history, and what this says about Tolkien’s understanding of history.
Agan, Cami D. “Lúthien Tinúviel and Bodily Desire in the Lay of Leithian.” Perilous and Fair: Women in the Works and Life
of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A. Donovan. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 168–88.
Positions and emphasizes the role of the female body as the primary source for Lúthien’s power in Tolkien’s legendarium.
For Agan, Lúthien’s feminine attributes, grounded specifically in her gendered body, portray her as an active, potent force
in Middle-earth’s history in contrast to the passively ineffectual maiden other scholars have perceived.
Agan, Cami. “Song as Mythic Conduit in The Fellowship of the Ring.” Mythlore 26.3/4 (#101/102) (2008): 41–63.
Explores the complex layering of history and legend that convey Tolkien’s themes across a wide array of genres within the
legendarium, reinforcing the sense of depth of time Tolkien hoped to achieve even within The Hobbit.

Agøy, Nils Ivar. “A Nodal Structure in Tolkien’s Tales of the First Age?” Mythlore 13.4 (#50) (1987): 22–25.
Identifies “nodes” or “stable images,” which persist in “staying more or less the same among endlessly changing plotlines”
as Tolkien developed his narratives of the First Age.
Agøy, Nils Ivar. “Quid Hinieldus cum Christo?—New Perspectives on Tolkien’s Theological Dilemma and his Sub-Creation
Theory.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 31–38.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Tolkien’s developing, and to all appearances pagan, legendarium posed a theological dilemma to its
devoutly Christian author. How could it be reconciled with his faith? Striking parallels exist with the Danish theologian,
poet and philologist N.F.S. Grundtvig. This paper attempts to establish if Tolkien’s answer, found in part in “On Fairystories,” was influenced by Grundtvig’s attempts to reconcile Norse myths and Christendom.
Akers-Jordan, Cathy. “Fairy Princess or Tragic Heroine? The Metamophosis of Arwen Undomiel in Peter Jackson’s The Lord
of the Rings Films.” Tolkien on Film: Essays on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena:
Mythopoeic Press, 2004. 195–214.
A detailed reading of Jackson’s portrayal and its roots in Arwen’s ancestry, in spite of its many changes from the Arwen
depicted in the books and appendices.
Akgün, Buket. “The Helmholtz, the Doctor, the Minotaur, and the Labyrinth.” Mythlore 34.2 (#128) (2016): 95–112.
Compares the use and resolution of Minotaur and Labyrinth themes and imagery, and the identification of the Theseus herofigure with the monster, in Victor Pelevin’s novel The Helmet of Horror and the sixth season Doctor Who episode “The God
Complex.”
Aldrich, Kevin. “The Sense of Time in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 15.1 (#55) (1988): 5–9.
Discusses the importance of time, death, and/or immortality for various races of Middle-earth.
Alexander, Joy. “‘The whole art and joy of words’: Aslan’s Speech in the Chronicles of Narnia.” Mythlore 24.1 (#91) (2003): 37–48.
A close look at the stylistic and structural characteristics of Aslan’s speeches in the Chronicles of Narnia.
Alfaiz, Nora. “The Preservation of National Unity by [Dis]remembering the Past in Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the
Rings.” Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena:
Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 80–91.
Looks at related themes of silence, selective forgetting, and propaganda, using historiographical theory to bring to light the
way nations and races form their identities by controlling collective memory. Tolkien’s Dwarves, Hobbits, and Men of
Gondor in particular reflect early twentieth-century concerns with nationalism and race identity that partly motivated the
world wars.
Allan, James D. “The Decline and Fall of the Osgiliathan Empire.” Mythcon III, Regency Hyatt House, Long Beach, CA, 1972.
Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1974. 3–6, 32, 36.
Taking Tolkien’s statement that hobbits lingered in “the North-West of the Old World” as its basis, this paper examines the
fauna, organization of human culture, development of armor and so on in Middle-earth to place it in the “heroic age” of
Europe and to identify Gondor with Rome. The author further identifies the function of the Elves and their protected
kingdoms with the monasteries that preserved cultural memories through the Dark Ages. Consideration is given to the nonmedieval culture of the Shire, the fact that Aragorn does not map precisely onto any particular ruler of this period, and what
these anomalies mean.

therefore of moral reasoning,” and praises Tolkien for creating characters with a realistic moral balance. Makes the important
observation that good characters can imagine being evil while evil characters cannot imagine being good. (Note that this

generous.

I will not say united, but they do at least join hands.” Cogent argument is combined with “vividly imagined” narrative and
descriptive imagery.

Examines the close link between George MacDonald’s Phantastes and C.S. Lewis’s first post-conversion fiction The Pilgrim’s
Regress, born out of the “baptism” of Lewis’s imagination by MacDonald’s seminal work. Both feature pairings of seekers

Especially concerned with Bilbo’s characterization, unusual in children’s literature, as middle-aged, but also addresses other
issues of world-building and story structure that reinforce this motif of “starting in the middle”: maps, the sense of the past,
racial characteristics and relations. Birns draws interesting contrasts with the Alice in Wonderland and Oz books.

Plenary address, Mythcon 47. Concerns the character of the “Materialist Magician” (Screwtape’s term) in Tolkien and
Lewis—the Janus-like figure who looks backward to magic and forward to scientism, without the moral core to reconcile his
liminality. Tolkien’s Saruman and Lewis’s Uncle Andrew and Devine are key specimens of this trope, with Merlin standing
as a counter-example.

28.3/4 (#109/110) (2010): 85–106.
This challenging paper on mythology in Tolkien’s depiction of Dwarves brings some much-needed definition to the ongoing
discussion of Tolkien and race. Quotes China Miéville’s observation that “racism is true” in Tolkien’s works, “in that people
really are defined by their race,” but demonstrates how Tolkien’s conception of the racial characteristics of Dwarves changed
over his lifetime. Yet we come back in the end to the inescapable fact, with all its implications, that the Dwarves continue to
have a set of recognizable racial characteristics.

Branchaw, Sherrylyn. “Tolkien’s Philological Philosophy in His Fiction.” Mythlore 34.1 (#127) (2015): 37–50.
Reading of several key passages in Tolkien’s works that tie back to and illustrate his deepest-held philosophical beliefs about
philology. Among other examples, pays particular attention to Gimli’s speech about the Glittering Caves of Aglarond and to
Faramir’s failure to understand the warning implicit in the place-name Cirith Ungol due to the drift of linguistic meaning
over time.

on Charles Williams.” Mythlore 13.2 (#48) (1986): 13–21, 40.
Edited transcript of a panel discussion (including audience contributions) at the 17th Mythopoeic Society Conference.
Braude, Nan. “Sion and Parnassus: Three Approaches to Myth.” Mythlore 1.1 (#1) (1969): 6–8.
Compares how the three authors shaped their mythopoeic literature—Tolkien as a true creator, Lewis as an allegorist, and
Williams as a Christian symbolist—and why they may appeal to different tastes.
Braude, Nan. “Tolkien and Spenser.” Mythlore 1.3 (#3) (1969): 8–10, 13.
Compares the style, content, and allegorical interpretation of The Lord of the Rings and The Faerie Queene.
Braude, Nan. “The Two-Headed Beast: Notes Toward the Definition of Allegory.” Mythcon I, Harvey Mudd College,
Claremont, CA, 1970. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 32–35.
The author provides a literary history of the concept of allegory going back to Homer, describing “allegorism” and
“typology” as the two divisions of allegory, distinguishing allegory from symbolism and conceit, exploring modern attitudes
toward allegory, and briefly examining the use of allegory and symbol in Tolkien, Lewis, and Williams.
Brenion, Antoinette H. “Heraldry in the Arthuriad: A Brief Survey.” Mythlore 6.2 (#20) (1979): 7–9.
Examines heraldic devices of Arthur and several of his knights, attempting to “give probable religious meanings of each.”
Accompanied by a bibliographic note by Ian Myles Slater.
Bridgwater, Sue. “The Steward, The King, and the Queen: Fealty and Love in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and in Sir
Orfeo.” Mythlore 31.1/2 (#119/120) (2012): 47–68.
Finds connections between The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s long professional engagement with the medieval romance Sir
Orfeo. Orfeo’s plot elements of a king’s separation from his queen and his testing of his steward are echoed (albeit in a
somewhat fragmented way) and re–examined in the relationships of Aragorn, Arwen, and the house of the Stewards of
Gondor.
Brisbois, Michael J. “The Blade Against the Burden: The Iconography of the Sword in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 27.1/2
(#103/104) (2008): 93–103.
Invites us to consider the deeper social implications of carrying and using a sword in the medieval world of Middle-earth—
how bearing a sword not only indicates leadership and service, but provides an opportunity for social mobility, in addition
to its more obvious military meanings. Considers as examples Merry and Pippin swearing oaths to, respectively, Théoden
and Denethor; Éowyn’s heroic deeds; and especially Aragorn’s use of Narsil/Andúril as a symbol of legitimacy and service
to his people.
Broadwell, Elizabeth. “Essë and Narn: Name, Identity, and Narrative in the Tale of Túrin Turambar.” Mythlore 17.2 (#64)

Mythlore Index Plus  17
Article Index by Author
Examines the importance and significance of character names in Tolkien’s First Age narratives, especially those of Túrin
Turambar. Names are “capsule narratives” of character and background. Names also demonstrate social connections, and
have a magical component.
Brown, Barbara. “Feminist Myth in Le Guin’s ‘Sur.’” Mythlore 16.4 (#62) (1990): 56–59.
Argues that Le Guin has created in “Sur” a “myth of women explorers, a myth of female heroes.” Contrasts the fictional allfemale Antarctic expedition with historical examples, the latter focusing on the individual and the former on the collective.
Brown, Devin. “C.S. Lewis on Vocation: The Integration of Faith and Occupation.” Past Watchful Dragons: Fantasy and
Faith in the World of C.S. Lewis. Ed. Amy H. Sturgis. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2007. 139–52.
Discusses not only what Lewis wrote about vocation in his apologetic and imaginative works, but also the example he
provided about vocation via his own life and career.
Brown, Devin. “From Isolation to Community: Frodo’s Incomplete Personal Quest in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 25.1/2
(#95/96) (2006): 163–74.

Brown, Devin. “From Isolation to Community: Ransom’s Spiritual Odyssey.” Mythlore 22.4 (#86) (2000): 39–47.
Explores Ransom’s transformation from a position of isolation at the beginning of Out of the Silent Planet to his position as
Head of the community of St. Anne’s in That Hideous Strength.
Brown, Devin. “The Ultimate Time Travel Machine.” Mythlore 22.1 (#83) (1997): 32.
Response to earlier Mythlore article by Beare (issue #81). Addresses issue of time-travel, putting it in broader context—
focusing not on the character but on the reader.
Brown, Judith. “The Pilgrimage From Deep Space.” Mythlore 4.3 (#15) (1977): 13–15.
Traces the development and spiritual maturation of Ransom throughout the Space Trilogy.
Browning, Lydia R. “Charles Williams’s Anti-Modernist Descent into Hell.” Mythlore 31.1/2 (#119/120) (2012): 69–84.
Focuses on the theme of community versus isolation. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “Self Reliance” is used as a key to
understanding Lawrence Wentworth’s increasing withdrawal from reality and “the city” of his fellow human beings, in
contrast with the workings of coinherence personified in the interactions of other characters.
Bruce, Alexander M. “The Fall of Gondor and the Fall of Troy: Tolkien and Book II of The Aeneid.” Mythlore 30.3/4 (#117/118)
(2012): 103–15.
Takes us back to classical warfare and the Fall of Troy with his examination of what Tolkien did with the Aeneid when he
used it as a source for “The Fall of Gondolin.” The parallels between the stories of Tuor and Aeneas are striking, but more
interesting is how Tolkien put his own thematic and symbolic stamp on the material.
Bruce, Alexander M. “Maldon and Moria: On Byrhtnoth, Gandalf, and Heroism in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 26.1/2
(#99/100) (2007): 149–59.
A close look at “The Battle of Maldon” and how Tolkien’s opinion of Bryhtnoth’s actions echoes through his Beowulf essay,
“The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son,” and even into the character of Gandalf.
Brunsdale, Mitzi M. “Norse Mythological Elements in The Hobbit.” Mythlore 9.4 (#34) (1983): 49–50, 55.
Considers the influence of Norse mythology on The Hobbit in particular, both in story elements and in “Northern courage.”
Asserts that in The Hobbit, Tolkien “bases each of the major elements of the quest on an identifiably Northern mythological
source.” Sees the moral choices presented in The Hobbit as characteristic of those faced by the “stern heroes of Northern
myths” and important to children, whose notions of right and wrong are more basic than those of adults.
Bucknall, Barbara J. “Rilke and Le Guin.” Mythlore 16.2 (#60) (1989): 62–66.
Seeks similarities in Rilke and Le Guin, especially in the power of naming and the view of death as a necessary part of life.
Notes in particular parallels between Rilke’s Duino Elegies and The Farthest Shore.

opposing but parallel experiences, motifs, and motivations for Jane and Mark Studdock in That Hideous Strength.
Bullock, Richard P. “The Importance of Free Will in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 11.3 (#41) (1985): 29, 56.

Bunting, Nancy. “1904: Tolkien, Trauma, and its Anniversaries.” Mythlore 34.1 (#127) (2015): 59–81.
A controversial speculative reading of J.R.R. Tolkien’s early years with his mother Mabel and brother Hilary. Applying our
current understanding of childhood trauma and its later effects, definitions of abuse, and knowledge of the history of childrearing to a close reading of underused material from Hilary’s memoirs and Ronald’s artwork, among other documents,
Bunting proposes a far less rosy picture of Tolkien’s early childhood than usually seen. However, statements from Tolkien’s
official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, hint at a great deal of suppressed material; it’s possible this interpretation may turn
out to be closer to the truth than one might expect as more material becomes available.
Bunting, Nancy. “A Reply to Rosegrant [Letter].” Mythlore 35.1 (#129) (2016): 133–37.
Replies to John Rosegrant’s response (in Mythlore #128) to her article on Tolkien’s traumatic family history in Mythlore #127.
Bunting, Nancy. “Tolkien in Love: Pictures from Winter 1912–1913.” Mythlore 32.2 (#124) (Spring/Summer 2014): 5–12.
Makes a case for examining Tolkien’s work as an amateur visual artist as key to understanding the important stresses and
changes in his life over the winter months of 1912–1913, as he anticipated reuniting with Edith Bratt after their forced
separation.
Burns, Marjorie J. “The Anonymous Fairy Tale: Ruskin’s King of the Golden River.” Mythlore 14.3 (#53) (1988): 38–42.
Discusses Ruskin’s only fairy tale as a successful work, reflecting his interest in Northern landscapes. Notes female
symbolism despite a lack of female characters. Recounts how Ruskin’s psychological problems made him ambivalent
toward, and eventually mistrustful of, fantasy.
Burns, Marjorie. “Eating, Devouring, Sacrifice, and Ultimate Just Desserts.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 108–14.
Bilbo’s fear of being eaten is expanded in The Lord of the Rings to include the Dark Lord’s “devouring.” both the nursery
rhyme sense of being “eaten up” and the more sophisticated sense of enslavement, Tolkien uses this theme to discuss
selfhood and free will, and to separate those who serve from those who consume and possess.
Burns, Marjorie J. “J.R.R. Tolkien and the Journey North.” Mythlore 15.4 (#58) (1989): 5–9.
Analyzes the symbolic importance of directions in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Notes the pervasive Nordic influence
in particular, especially in the similar symbolic attributes of North and East.
Byfield, Bruce. “The Imposition of Structure: Archetypes in the Fafhrd and Mouser Series.” Mythlore 17.2 (#64) (1990): 22–24,
26–28.
Analyzes the development of stories in Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series, under the influence of Jung’s and
Campbell’s theories of archetypes, anima, and monomyth. Notes a maturation of the characters and more significant women
characters.
Byfield, Bruce. “A Literary Newton: A Suggestion for a Critical Appraisal of Fritz Leiber.” Mythlore 17.1 (#63) (1990): 48–54.
Deplores the dearth of serious critical attention to the writings of Leiber and speculates about the reasons for this. Gives an
overview of his career that suggests avenues for future critical analysis.
Byfield, Bruce. “The Secret Queen: Two Views of the Heroine in Diana Paxson’s The White Raven.” Mythlore 18.1 (#67) (1991):
30–33, 48.
Contrasts Esseilte, who typifies the Campbellian role of the female in her symbolic relationship to the male, with Branwen—
who challenges this pattern “by pursuing her own enlightenment in much the same way that a male hero does.”

Examines the narrative structure of Beauty and the Blue Sword in terms of Ganette’s distinction between mimetic authority
and diegetic authority. Notes that both protagonists have little control over events and once their function is served, the
patriarchal character of their world persists.

Gloin, and Gríma.
Callahan, Tim. “Censoring the World Riddle.” Mythlore 20.1 (#75) (1994): 15–20.
Detailed examination of the efforts of Christian fundamentalists to censor fantasy films and books. Asserts that “one must
give up the right to control as the price of entry” into Faërie. Fundamentalist ideologies do not allow for that “suspension of
judgment” necessary to confront the World Riddle, or Faërie.
Callahan, Tim. “Devil, Trickster and Fool.” Mythlore 17.4 (#66) (1991): 29–34.
Discusses the Trickster and Fool figure in world folklore and mythology as well as selected fantasy literature.
Callaway, David. “Gollum: A Misunderstood Hero.” Mythlore 10.3 (#37) (1984): 14–17, 22.
Considers the question of where Gollum fits within the overall Christian framework of Middle-earth, and proposes that he
is “an emblem of the internal dilemma faced by all creatures in a Christian-based cosmology [...] each must struggle with his
own inherent evil.” Argues that Gollum, still retaining some goodness and potential after holding the Ring for 478 years,
was a hero who consciously chose to destroy the Ring at the end.
Campbell, Ethan, and Robert Jackson. “‘Good, Not Safe’: Structure vs. Chaos in Narnia and the Writing Workshop.”

of tight structure when writing for children, and the moments when his story escapes his own rules. Discusses using Lewis
in the creative writing classroom.
Canaan, Howard. “All Hell into his Knapsack: The Spirit of Play in Two Fairy Tales.” Mythlore 19.4 (#74) (1993): 41–45.

Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 234–44.
Considers Lord Dunsany’s response to the Great War and modernized conflict in general in Don Rodriguez. In a pivotal
section of this Quixotic romantic adventure, the character of Rodriguez is shown visions of modern war that cause him to
question not just his heroic warrior ideals, but the purpose of Creation itself; his following adventures are increasingly in
the ironic mode. Rodriquez is able to transcend his experiences in the end.

connected Joy with Christianity, Wordsworth tried to locate it “in the natural phenomena that are only its vehicles.”
Carter, Margaret L. “A Note on Moral Concepts in Lewis’ Fiction.” Mythlore 5.1 (#17) (1978): 35.
Notes that critics have complained about the “pettiness” of evil characters in Lewis’s works, implying that Lewis was unable
to create evil characters of “abstract grandeur.” Argues that Lewis’s decision was “a conscious philosopher’s choice.”
Carter, Margaret. “Perpetual Winter in C.S. Lewis and Patricia McKillip.” Mythlore 16.1 (#59) (1989): 35–36, 57.

Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 23–37.
After Frodo, Faramir perhaps best represents Tolkien’s thinking on war and processing of his World War I experiences.
Carter reveals Faramir to be a far more modern warrior than any of his compatriots, particularly in contrast to Aragorn and
Boromir, who are representative of much older and rapidly obsolescing models of heroism and methods of warfare.
Carter, Susan. “Galadriel and Morgan le Fey: Tolkien’s Redemption of the Lady of the Lacuna.” Mythlore 25.3/4 (#97/98)
(2007): 71–89.
Looks at Galadriel’s role in the text of The Lord of the Rings—specifically at what is not revealed about her there—finding
parallels with the treatment of Morgan le Fey in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, one of the Middle English texts with which
Tolkien was most associated as a scholar.
Carter-Day, Deborah. “‘Coinherence’ and ‘The Terrible Good’: A Soul’s Journey to Awareness and Responsibility.” Mythlore

particularly in the actions of Lester Furnival.
Chance, Jane. “Power and Knowledge in Tolkien: The Problem of Difference in ‘The Birthday Party.’” Mythlore 21.2 (#80)
(1996): 115–20.
It is not altogether clear from reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time how political the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo are,
even in the introductory chapter “A Long-expected Party.” For there exist power struggles among the different hobbit
families in the Shire, absurd in some cases, significant in others. One mark of the ability of Bilbo and Frodo is their sensitivity
to the politics of the Shire, a faculty born of nurture and nature that will enable Frodo’s mission and attract followers. This
paper reveals how Tolkien’s understanding of leadership rests upon what might be termed a Post-modernist relationship
between power and knowledge. Excerpt from Chance’s The Lord of the Rings: The Mythology of Power.

Explains how Jackson changed the focus of the story from Frodo’s journey and the theme of “the ennoblement of the humble”
to Aragorn and Arwen’s love story, and how this decision may or may not be supported by evidence from the legendarium
and Tolkien’s letters.

Mythlore 3.4 (#12) (1976): 10–17.
A study of ecological themes in Lewis’s Space Trilogy which concludes that Lewis was not (as many assume) hostile to
science. Views it as “probably true” that he was “hostile to industrialism and technology,” however. Argues that “Lewis’s
ecological concern was related to his vision of religious transcendence.”
Chapman, Edgar L. “Anima Figures in a Demonic Comedy in the Lewis Tradition: E.E.Y. Hales’s Chariot of Fire.” Mythlore

Calls Hales’s fantasy “a theological novel in the traditions of Lewis’s Ransom novels and The Great Divorce.” Sees Lewis as a
“link between Hales’ novel and Christian poetic traditions in the epics of Dante and Milton.”
Chapman, Edgar L. “The Shaman as Hero and Spiritual Leader: Richard Adams’ Mythmaking in Watership Down and
Shardik.” Mythlore 5.2 (#18) (1978): 7–11.
Focuses mainly on Shardik, calling it “a demanding novel which explores the possible ways of responding to the emergence
of the transcendental and mythic into ordinary existence.” With Watership Down, it justifies the importance of intuition,
mystical, and transcendental experience.

(2013): 83–101. Also in Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft.
Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 60–79.
Uses the characters Sméagol and Déagol as jumping-off points to explore issues of secrecy, surveillance, propaganda, and
censorship that were increasingly coming to the fore during World War I and the inter-war years. Although significant issues
in their own right, these trends also point to a growing individual privileging of self-concealment and discretion over openness
and intimacy, a process that dehumanized and eroded the social fabric. The Ring crystallizes these concerns into a single object,
and Gollum’s relationship to it especially creates a tangle of themes of revealing and concealing. Also discusses Tolkien’s
peculiar talent for “creation from philology” building on *dēagan and smēagan, Old English word-elements invoking hiding,
concealing, investigation, secrecy, interrogation, and private thought.

Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 40–48.
The author takes two approaches in this discussion of The Great Divorce: enumerating the medieval sources and analogues
for Lewis’s story, particularly The Divine Comedy but also other dream-visions such as The Romance of the Rose; and seeking
out modern parallels and inspirations, such as Forster’s “The Celestial Omnibus” but more importantly Tolkien’s “Leaf by
Niggle” and Williams’s All Hallows’ Eve.

1971. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1971. 12–21.
Part III is a close textual comparison of the English and American editions and the newspaper serialization. Part IV examines
the underlying structure, comparing the encounters in Divorce with the organization of The Divine Comedy and concluding
that Lewis’s book is not as tightly and hierarchically organized, either artistically or theologically. This section also attempts
to categorize Divorce using Northrop Frye’s classification scheme laid out in The Anatomy of Criticism, and concludes with a
debate about the merits of “destructive” criticism. Finally, Part V, considers a religious reading of Divorce, and how reading
such a work is akin to the art of mediation, comprising contemplation, analysis, and colloquy.

and one in his more mature Narnia books (Mr. Tumnus, but Narnia is also home to a whole race of Fauns). Lewis handles
the imagery and associations of the satyr or faun quite differently at these points in his writing career, but both represent a
split in the psychology of the human male.

expressed in letters to his friend Arthur Greeves) to explore the underlying themes of Lewis’s not just pre-conversion, but
pre-theism “cycle of lyrics.” The contrast between beauty and evil, irreconcilable in this stage of Lewis’s theological

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

Doughan, David. “Tolkien, Sayers, Sex and Gender.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1992): 356–59.
Tolkien’s expressed “loathing” for Dorothy Sayers and her novels Gaudy Night and Busman’s Honeymoon is remarkable
considering that Sayers is generally considered to belong to the same milieu as the Inklings. Possible reasons for this are the
contrast between the orthodox Catholic Tolkien’s view of male sexuality as inherently sinful, requiring “great mortification,”
and Sayers’s frankly hedonistic approach. Another reason may be Sayers’s depiction of an independent Oxford women’s
college getting by successfully without men, and her representation of marriage as a source of intellectual frustration for
creative women.

and waves in the Space Trilogy as a whole. Eddings finds more than simple gendered symbolism in these clusters of images;
verticality indicates reaching for the heavens and waves show submission to the will of Maleldil. These symbols are

Ellwood, Gracia Fay. “The Good Guys and the Bad Guys.” Tolkien Journal 3.4 (#10) (1969): 9–11.
Considers the popularity of The Lord of the Rings, with its unfashionably clear division of good and evil, as in part due to its
appeal to the deep human need for stories embodying archetypes. Applies Jungian analysis and the theories of Joseph
Campbell and Mircea Eliade to the story.
Ellwood, Gracia Fay. “A High and Lonely Destiny.” Mythcon I, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA, 1970. Ed. Glen
GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 23–27.
Examines the recurring motif of people, both real and fictional, who believe they possess magical powers and a destiny that
places them above normal human moral concerns and connections. Beginning with the biblical Simon Magus and continuing
through the many tales of Merlin, Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus, and Adolf Hitler, and ending with Tolkien’s Saruman, Ellwood
traces this complex to inner hunger and self-deception, and notes how some characters, such as Gandalf, escape this destiny
through their sense of connection with others.

Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1971. 26–28.
Compares the use of displacement in time in the plots of Charles Williams’s Descent Into Hell and Mircea Eliade’s novella
Nights at Serampore. Both stories involve protagonists interacting with violent events taking place in the past of their presentday location. Williams’s principle of exchange makes Pauline’s experience a joyful and numinous one; Eliade’s story ends
more ambiguously, with the participants deriving no spiritual meaning from their experience other than a sense of the
illusory nature of what is experienced through the senses. Ellwood goes on to examine real-world stories of similar
retrocognitive events, and finds recorded examples of both spiritually numinous and ambiguous experiences.
Ellwood, Gracia Fay. “‘Which Way I Flie is Hell.’” Narnia Conference, Palms Park, West Los Angeles, 1969. Ed. Glen
GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 11–14.
Taking as its starting point Milton’s portrait of a Satan who creates deeper and deeper hells within himself as he continually
rejects heaven, Ellwood demonstrates how a number of characters in the Chronicles of Narnia similarly deceive themselves
and become—literally, in the case of some—blind and deaf to reality and the chance of salvation. Among them are Edmund,
Eustace, Uncle Andrew, and the Dwarves in the Stable in The Last Battle.

Examines a particularly troubling use of fiction: the adoption of an author’s work, against his own intentions, as a quasireligious text for cultic practices. Lovecraft’s mythos is thus observed in the process of deliberately being made into a worship

Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A. Donovan. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 118–35.
Describes Tolkien’s female characters as offering a critique of traditional and worldly power typically embodied in masculine
images. Enright establishes Tolkien’s female characters as a reflection of biblical teachings that promote the choice of love
over pride as a more powerful alternative to the domination by force that is typically conceived of as masculine.

the Detective Fiction of Dorothy L. Sayers.” Mythlore 6.4 (#22) (1979): 33–36.
Sayers, like Lewis, used the vehicle of genre fiction to explore something rarely explored in modern fiction: “marriage as a
human relationship which has a potential for good, for human growth, individuation, mutuality, and love.” The fulfillment
of the potential in the marriage of Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane is explored in detail.
Evans, Gwyneth. “Three Modern Views of Merlin.” Mythlore 16.4 (#62) (1990): 17–22.
Examines the use of Merlin as a character in Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, two novels by J.C. Powys, and Susan Cooper’s The
Dark is Rising series. Notes parallels and differences in Merlin’s power, role, prophetic ability, link with the divine, and
vulnerability.

Addresses the vexed question of Princess Eilonwy’s gesture of giving up magic and immortality to be the wife of Taran and
queen of Prydain. Was it a forced choice and a sacrifice of the capable and strong-willed girl’s agency and power, or does it

Recommends using Lewis’s The Four Loves as an interpretive window through which to study works of fiction, including
Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray. The primary concern of Wilde’s story, she contends, is the danger that arises when
individuals, to use Lewis’s terminology, mistake or substitute “Need-love” for God, the object of “Gift-love.”

Filmer, Kath. “Beware the Nothing: An Allegorical Reading of Ende’s The Neverending Story.” Mythlore 12.4 (#46) (1986): 34–36.

an actualization of a neo-Romantic and metaphysical world-view compatible with the theories of Lewis and Tolkien on
fantasy and imagination. Previoulsy appeared in Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac.

both spiritual and psychological growth.
Filmer, Kath. “Speaking in Parables.” Mythlore 11.2 (#40) (1984): 15–20.
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.

(2010): 5–15.
An engaging linguistic study of the Mirkwood episode in Tolkien’s The Hobbit, which the author uses as a typical example
of the depth and interwoven complexity of the author’s linguistic invention. Touches on the linguistic features of a number

Flieger, Verlyn. “How Trees Behave—Or Do They?” Mythlore 32.1 (#123) (2013): 19–31.
Flieger takes as her departure point a passage on tree-spirits in one of the manuscripts for “On Fairy-stories,” and considers
the development of Tolkien’s ideas about more-or-less enspirited trees throughout his oeuvre. Begins with the earliest
appearance of Old Man Willow in the Tom Bombadil poems, progressing through his maturation as an idea in The Lord of
the Rings. Pays special attention to Treebeard and the Huorns, and ends with the birch tree in Smith of Wootton Major.
Flieger, Verlyn. “J.R.R. Tolkien and the Matter of Britain.” Mythlore 23.1 (#87) (2000): 47–58.

Mythopoeic Society: 1985. 85–94.
Flieger, Verlyn. “Missing Person.” Mythlore 12.4 (#46) (1986): 12–15.
Notes that while Arda has parallels to many events of the Judeo-Christian story—God, angels, Satan—it lacks a complete
parallel to Christ. It has a number of saviors (Gandalf, Aragorn) but no Redeemer, though Frodo comes closest.
Flieger, Verlyn. “The Ouroboros Principle: Time and Love in Zimiamvia.” Mythlore 15.4 (#58) (1989): 43–46.
Analyzes the theme of return in A Fish Dinner in Memison, noting its “haunting pattern of I and simultaneity.” Concentrates

(#80) (1996): 39–44.
Tolkien’s two time-travel stories, The Lost Road and “The Notion Club Papers,” derive their mode of operation from a theory
of time as a field proposed in 1927 by Dunne. Explores the relationship between Dunne’s theory and the fictive psychology
of dream and memory that provides a working basis for Tolkien’s time travel.
Ford, Paul F. “An Appreciation of the Fiction of C.S. Lewis.” C.S. Lewis, Owen Barfield: A Souvenir Book for the Centenary

Foster, Robert. “The Heroic in Middle-earth.” Mythcon II, Francisco Torres, Santa Barbara, CA, 1971. Ed. Glen GoodKnight.
Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1971. 22–25.
Gives examples of several types of heroism: the survival-hero, whose heroism is a reaction to a hostile environment; the
destiny-hero, who has been chosen to fulfill a task beyond his normal capabilities; the honor-hero, motivated by a desire for
reputation and fame; and the ethic-hero, whose self-respect demands he act when circumstances arise that require it.
Describes the moral framework of Middle-earth as one that constantly presents opportunities for heroic action, which in
turn influences and supports later heroic actions through providing examples to emulate, clues to effective action, or
heirloom objects that assist later heroes. In this framework, all heroic actions against evil are valuable and have consequences.
Foster, Robert. “Sindarin and Quenya Phonology.” Mythcon I, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA, 1970. Ed. Glen
GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 54–56.

Foster, Susanne E. “Lewis on Animal Immortality.” Mythlore 22.1 (#83) (1997): 47–53.
Presents Christian arguments against the immortality of animals and Lewis’s contrary opinion. Argues that Lewis’s views

nature of immortality for humans.
Franko, Carol. “Self-Conscious Narration as the Complex Representation of Hope in Le Guin’s Always Coming Home.”
Mythlore 15.3 (#57) (1989): 57–60.
Calls Always Coming Home an “open-ended utopia” that presents the possibility of utopia without being specific about the
means to get there. The self-reflexive narrator, Pandora, is the “structuring paradox” of a novel that leads the reader to long
for a utopia while remaining ambiguous about its possibility.

Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 263–78.
Interprets The Worm Ouroboros as not just a fantasy, but also, in many ways, as in tune with the contemporary modernist
movement—though Eddison’s aims were not in sympathy with the modernists, and in fact his high romanticism proposes
an alternative to modernist realism and pessimism.
Gavin, John, S.J. “St. Jerome’s Narnia: Transformation and Asceticism in the Desert and Beyond the Wardrobe.” Mythlore
33.2 (#126) (2015): 111–25.
Compares “two exercises in Christian myth-making”—C.S. Lewis’s Narniad and The Life of Paul the Hermit, the earliest work
of the ascetic St. Jerome. Both are entertaining, and even whimsical at times, and feature communication with intelligent
animals and a restoration of Paradise. Both also feature characters who model the value of asceticism and the solitary
contemplative life.

examples of Quenya.
Gilson, Christopher, and Patrick Wynne. “The Growth of Grammar in the Elven Tongues.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 187–94.
While some features of Elven grammar go back to the earliest records, such as the “Quenya Lexicon,” others are unique to
later works such as the “Secret Vice” poems and the Etymologies, and some do not emerge until after The Lord of the Rings.
The Elven languages form an expanding canvas (like Niggle’s) and many of the individual poems and sentences can be
examined in terms of how they elaborate or enhance the overall grammar of Elvish.
Glover, Willis B. “The Christian Character of Tolkien’s Invented World.” Mythlore 3.2 (#10) (1975)/Tolkien Journal #17 (1975): 3–8.

Discusses the medieval theological concepts of affirmation of images (romantic, seeking truth reflected in imagery) and
rejection of images (mystical, seeking direct access to truth), building on Mary Schildeler’s book on Williams, The Theology of
Romantic Love, and liberally quoting from Jung and Lewis. Concludes that Lewis advocated a hybrid concept of transparent
images; that ideally one should simultaneously contemplate both the image and the truth behind it, transcending dualism.

Revision of conference introductory address. Sees many of the problems of the modern world stemming from a deep distrust

Examines instances of ēacen, or supernatural enlargement beyond normal power, in The Lord of the Rings, showing the
influence of Tolkien’s familiarity with and preferred translation of the term from Beowulf.
Greene, Deirdre. “Higher Argument: Tolkien and the Tradition of Vision, Epic and Prophecy.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 45–52.
Attempts to place Tolkien’s fiction in a distinctively English literary context: a tradition of visionary writing which strives
toward national epic, existing from Spenser through Milton (and in certain respects, Blake) to Tolkien.
Greene, Deirdre. “Tolkien’s Dictionary Poetics: The Influence of the OED’s Defining Style on Tolkien’s Fiction.” Mythlore
21.2 (#80) (1996): 195–99.
Examines the connections between Tolkien’s writing of fiction and his work as a lexicographer on the Oxford English
Dictionary. Some of Tolkien’s most characteristic stylistic flourishes show the influence of the distinctive, charming defining
style of the first edition of the OED.
Greenman, David. “Aeneidic and Odyssean Patterns of Escape and Return in Tolkien’s ‘The Fall of Gondolin’ and The
Return of the King.” Mythlore 18.2 (#68) (1992): 4–9.
Sees classical influence in the quest patterns of Tolkien’s heroes. Tuor fits the pattern of Aeneas (the Escape Quest) and the
hobbits in Return of the King follow that of Odysseus (the Return Quest).
Greenman, David. “The Silmarillion as Aristoteleian Epic-Tragedy.” Mythlore 14.3 (#53) (1988): 20–25, 42.
Illustrates how the First Age narratives in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales implement key ideas from Aristotle’s Poetics.
Identifies the history of the first age as Aristotelian epic-tragedy.
Grigorieva, Natalia. “Problems of Translating into Russian.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 200–05.
Discusses the tradition and culture of translation in Russia and examines four different translations of The Lord of the Rings,
and how adequately they capture Tolkien’s style, names, characters, and the characteristics of Faerie.
Grushetskiy, Vladimir. “How Russians See Tolkien.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 221–25.
Discusses Tolkien’s reception in Russia among several groups of readers: young children, teenagers, the general public, and
the intellectual elite.
Grybauskas, Peter. “Dialogic War: From The Battle of Maldon to the War of the Ring.” Mythlore 29.3/4 (#113/114) (2011): 37–56.
Examines Tolkien’s ability to hold two conflicting ways of thinking in creative tension, representing them through equally
sympathetic characters each fairly having their own say, as he does in “The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son.”
Grybauskas finds a parallel to this in the way The Battle of Maldon balances its praise of Northern courage with its censure of
the Earl of Maldon’s ofermod.
Grybauskas, Peter. “‘Now Often Forgotten’: Gollum, the Great War, and the Last Alliance.” Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the
Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 92–109.
Examines issues of the representation of history, using Gollum as a focal character. Gollum is shown to be a surprisingly
astute collector of lore and teller of tales, particularly in contrast with other characters who are more driven by motives of
national or personal pride, concealment and equivocation, or even lack of interest in history. Tolkien’s own interest in
history, as a reader of classical and medieval literature, colored his attitudes toward the conduct of World War II in particular.

separately elsewhere.

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings centered around imagery of readers and reading, thresholds and journeys.
Hammond, Wayne G. “All the Comforts: The Image of Home in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 14.1 (#51)

itself provides a major part of the commentary on the theme of intellectual integrity.” Another theme is the achievement of
the “delicate balance” between head and heart.

Earthsea.” Mythlore 15.1 (#55) (1988): 46–56.
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.
Harrod, Elizabeth. “Trees in Tolkien, and What Happened Under Them.” Mythlore 11.1 (#39) (1984): 47–52, 58.

Challenges the assumption that C.S. Lewis was in favor of or at least oblivious to Empire. The author uses insights from

CA, 1970. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 5–8.
Describes five “laws” underlying Tolkien’s Middle-earth and how the action of The Lord of the Rings proceeds logically from
them: the cosmos is ultimately providential; the result of an action is influenced by its intent; moral and magical laws are as
important as physical laws; states of mind influence physical reality; and experience is the realization of proverbial truth or
romantic convention.

Valinor, modeled on the Earthly Paradise, is described more fully in Tolkien’s posthumously published works than in The
Lord of the Rings. Yet the fleeting Valinorean images within the trilogy have a powerful impact, heightening and
simultaneously providing consolation for the horrors of Mordor.
Hood, Gwenyth. “Heroic Orual and the Tasks of Psyche.” Mythlore 27.3/4 (#105–106) (2009): 43–82.
In-depth exploration of Lewis’s Till We Have Faces, his retelling of the Psyche and Cupid myth from the viewpoint of one of
Psyche’s sisters, Orual. Taking as her key the god’s admonition to Orual after she forces her sister to disobey him, “You also
shall be Psyche,” Hood examines Orual’s transformations of herself and her society and the nature and meaning of the tasks
she symbolically shares with her sister. An appendix details similarities and differences between the classical Latin sources
and Lewis’s version.

Hopkins, Chris. “Tolkien and Englishness.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 278–80.
Discusses ways in which Tolkien draws upon various ideas of Englishness to construct his epic fictional world. In particular,
Tolkien’s combinations of different periods and traditions of Englishness (Anglo-Saxon, nineteenth-century) are explored.
Hopkins, Lisa. “Female Authority Figures in the Works of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80)
(1996): 364–66.
The powerful, learned woman is a figure of fear in the works of Williams, seen as transgressing her proper role. In Lewis,
legitimate authority figures are male, illegitimate ones are female, and gender roles are strictly demarcated. Tolkien,
however, not only creates powerful and heroic women, but also suggests that the combination of authority and femininity
can be particularly potent and talismanic.
Hostetter, Carl F. “Over Middle-earth Sent Unto Men: On the Philological Origins of Tolkien’s Eärendel Myth.” Mythlore
17.3 (#65) (1991): 5–10.
Goes beyond Carpenter’s well-known reference to Cynewulf’s Christ as Tolkien’s “primary inspiration” for Eärendel. Seeks
out the philological roots of various aspects of Eärendel (star, messenger, mariner, eagle, herald).
Hostetter, Carl F., and Arden R. Smith. “A Mythology for England.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 281–90.

language, and mythology, as part of his desire to create a mythology for England.
Hostetter, Carl F., and Patrick Wynne. “Stone Towers.” Mythlore 19.4 (#74) (1993): 47–55, 65.
Proposes “Celtic and pre-Celtic origins for certain linguistic and legendary elements in a corpus whose sources” have been
sought in Germanic myth and legend.
Houghton, John. “Augustine and the I.” Mythlore 21.1 (#79) (1995): 4–8.
Points out similarities in the meaning of Genesis as St. Augustine set it out (particularly in Twelve Books on the Literal Sense of
Genesis) and Tolkien’s account of the creation in the Ainulindale.
Houghton, John William. “Commedia as Fairy-story: Eucatastrophe in the Loss of Virgil.” Mythlore 17.2 (#64) (1990): 29–32.
Analyzes Dante in terms of Tolkien’s theory of the Fairy-story. Sees the loss of Virgil and recovery of Beatrice as a significant
eucatastrophe.
Houghton, John. “Rochester the Renewer: The Byronic Hero and The Messiah as Elements in The King Elessar.” Mythlore
11.1 (#39) (1984): 13–16, 45.

literature, through the addition of the redeeming and renewing qualities of a Messianic figure.
Houghton Mifflin. “[Letter].” Tolkien Journal 3.1 (#7) (1967): 22–23.
Reproduces excerpts from original reader’s reports on a number of Tolkien titles published by Houghton Mifflin.

Narratives in The Book of Wonder and Tales of Wonder.” Mythlore 31.1/2 (#119/120) (2012): 85–103.
In this study of Lord Dunsany’s “Oriental” fairy tales, House-Thomas divides Dunsany’s technique and aims into
“traditional” Oriental tales, of the sort Edward Said describes in his theories of Western Orientalist art and literature, and
non-traditional, post-modern tales in which Orientalism is turned upside-down and the West is turned into the Other. This
paper won the Alexei Kondratiev Student Paper Award at the 2012 Mythcon in Berkeley.
Howard, Andrew. “Till We Have Faces and its Mythological and Literary Precursors.” Mythlore 4.3 (#15) (1977): 30–32.
Compares Till We Have Faces with its “chief source,” the tale of Cupid and Psyche in Apuleius. Briefly compares it with other
works of Lewis as well.
Howard, Thomas. “Charles Williams’ Use of Arthurian Materials.” Mythlore 5.1 (#17) (1978): 6–10.

Howard, Thomas. “Granting Charles Williams his Doneé.” Mythlore 8.2 (#28) (1981): 13–14.
Discusses the difficulty of objective criticism of Williams as a novelist because of his unusual, sui generis subject matter and
treatment.
Howard, Thomas. “The Uses of Myth.” Mythlore 7.1 (#23) (1980): 20–23, 35.
Attempts to give a definition of myth, and the elements necessary for a mythic tale. Concludes the mythic narrative is
necessary to evoke certain “notions” that cannot be expressed in the impoverished symbolism and imagery of modern
literature.
Hruschka, John. “Anne Sexton and Anima Transformations: Transformations as a Critique of the Psychology of Love in
Grimm’s Fairy Tales.” Mythlore 20.1 (#75) (1994): 45–47.
Uses “Jung’s theories of anima as a critical framework [...] to demonstrate that Sexton’s poems [...] critique the psychology
of romantic love that informs the Grimm Brothers’ tales and the impact of that ideology on women.”
Hughes, Melinda. “Dark Sisters and Light Sisters: Sister Doubles and the Search for Sisterhood in The Mists of Avalon and
The White Raven.” Mythlore 19.1 (#71) (1993): 24–28.
Examines the literary device of “doubling” in Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon and Paxson’s The White Raven, as expressed in the
“surrogate sister” pairs of Morgaine/ Gwenhwyfar and Branwen/Esseilte.
Hulan, David. “Narnia and the Seven Deadly Sins.” Narnia Conference, Palms Park, West Los Angeles, 1969. Ed. Glen
GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 21–23.
Theorizes that each book in the Chronicles is centrally concerned with one of the medieval Seven Deadly Sins; that in each
book, a character commits one of these sins, and generally no other sins are foregrounded in that volume. The author’s
theory equates LWW with gluttony, PC with Envy, VDT with Avarice, SC with Sloth, HHB with Lechery, MN with Pride, and
LB with Anger. The author feels this was not planned as a major structural theme but was mainly coincidental.

(Spring/Summer 2014): 137–64.
Reflects on mutabilitie in the Narnian tale; weaves together an examination of the characteristics of the classic detective tale,
Spenser’s Two Cantos of Mutabilitie, and the plot and style of Lewis’s novel into a satisfying whole.

paradise in Tolkien, Lewis, and Williams traces the influence of Arthurian, Celtic, and Greek legends in their writing.
Huttar, Charles A. “Seeing Williams’ Work as a Whole: Church Year and Creed as Structural Principles.” Mythlore 14.1 (#51)
(1987): 14–18, 56.
Believes that Williams frequently used symbols related to the liturgical year of the Anglican Church, and to its creeds, in his
fiction, poetry, and drama.

Considers how important word choice was to Tolkien in his fiction, no doubt a result of his philological training and work
on the OED. Tolkien frequently chose historical rather than modern versions of words, causing great confusion to editors
and proofreaders.
Hyde, Paul Nolan. “Leaf and Key.” Mythlore 12.4 (#46) (1986): 27–29, 36.
Reviews various definitions of allegory and Tolkien’s writings on the subject to determine more precisely what type of

avoids becoming one. Previously appeared in Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena:
Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 95–101.
Hyde, Paul Nolan. “Mythos: The Daughter of Mountains, the Mother of Pearls.” Mythlore 16.1 (#59) (1989): 27–33.

his observations.

Reviews the history of Galadriel and Celeborn as revealed in unpublished materials as well as The Lord of the Rings, The

as one of his own myths.” Pays particular attention to Plato’s ideas of the human soul and psychology.
Johnston, Susan. “Grief Poignant as Joy: Dyscatastrophe and Eucatastrophe in A Song of Fire and Ice.” Mythlore 31.1/2
(#119/120) (2012): 133–54.
Argues that though the series is incomplete at present, J.R.R. Tolkien’s concept of eucatastrophe and its dark twin,

Analysis of Middle-earth’s environmental equivalents to our world, by climate and dominant vegetation. Notes that
Tolkien’s descriptions of the ecology of his Secondary World must be based on “years of close and thoughtful observation
of nature”—particularly when describing transitions from one ecological niche to another. Concludes with an “ecological

Kane, Doug C. “Reconstructing Arda: Of Fëanor and the Unchaining of Melkor.” Mythlore 27.1/2 (#103/104) (2008): 9–19.
Discusses Tolkien’s Silmarillion and how it was constructed from the materials later published in the twelve-volume History
of Middle-earth, in particular the version of “Of Fëanor and the Unchaining of Melkor” in the published Silmarillion compared
with the source material given in Morgoth’s Ring. The author finds intriguing patterns in what Christopher Tolkien used and
did not use from the original material.
Kawano, Roland M. “C.S. Lewis and the Transcendence of Irony.” Mythlore 6.2 (#20) (1979): 17–20.
Takes off from H.L. Weatherby’s study of Lewis’s and Eliot’s relations to medieval literature, in suggesting that Lewis’s
response to the modern gap between idea and image is to transcend irony in his own work. Discusses four aspects of Lewis:
“the doctrine of stock responses, the reaction of Lewis to the doctrine of the unchanging human heart, the impersonal theory,
and his experiment with various ways of reading.”
Kawano, Roland M. “C.S. Lewis: The Public Poet.” Mythlore 9.3 (#33) (1982): 20–21.
Contends that Lewis’s distinction between Milton the private man and epic, or public, poet can be applied to Lewis himself.
“The public character and convention of poetry interested [Lewis] most of all,” which put him out of step with the poetry of
his time, with its focus on private imagery.
Kawano, Roland M. “The Impact of Charles Williams’ Death on C.S. Lewis.” Mythcon I, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont,
CA, 1970. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 27–28.
Recounts the beginnings of the friendship of Lewis and Williams and Williams’s later association with the Inklings until his
death following complications from surgery in May 1945. Discusses the effect of his death on C.S. Lewis’s thoughts about
mortality and reprints his poem “On the Death of Charles Williams.”

Kegler, Adelheid. “Encounter Darkness: The Black Platonism of David Lindsay.” Mythlore 19.2 (#72) (1993): 24–33.
Characterizes Lindsay as a “belated symbolist” whose characters are “personifications of ontological values.” Uses
Neoplatonic “references to transcendence” but his imagery and technique do not suggest a positive view of transcendence.
Kelly, A. Keith and Michael Livingston. “‘A Far Green Country’: Tolkien, Paradise, and the End of All Things in Medieval
Literature.” Mythlore 27.3/4 (#105/106) (2009): 83–102.
Attempts to explain exactly what Frodo goes to when he sails from the Grey Havens. By looking at paradise, purgatory, and
earthly Edens in medieval literature and theology, we gain a better understanding of the spiritual purpose of Tolkien’s “far
green country” beyond the bent paths of the world. References “Pearl,” “Sir Orfeo,” mystery play cycles, and Sir John
Mandeville’s Travels, among other sources.
Kelly, Steven. “Breaking the Dragon’s Gaze: Commodity Fetishism in Tolkien’s Middle-earth.” Mythlore 34.2 (#128) (2016):
113–32.
Examines Tolkien’s treatment of economics in Middle-earth, using tobacco as an example of a Lukácsian fetishized
commodity, and explains why this is important not just as an example of world-building but as an indicator of the power
and danger of unexamined economic assumptions.
Kenney, Alice P. “Mistress of Creation.” Mythlore 11.1 (#39) (1984): 18–20, 45.
Discusses examples of women as creators (in the artistic and/or intellectual sense) and as inspiration for creative activity in
others, in the works of Lewis, Williams, Sayers, and Murdoch.
Kenny, Stuart. “The Now of Salvation: Thoughts on Charles Williams’ ‘Et in Sempiternum Pereant.’” Mythlore 17.4 (#66)

Khoddam, Salwa. “Balder the Beautiful: Aslan’s Norse Ancestor in The Chronicles of Narnia.” Mythlore 22.3 (#85) (1999): 66–75.
Because of Lewis’s typological approach to his use of sources, it is possible to see Aslan not just as a straight allegory of
Christ but as embodying elements from other mythic systems; in this case, Balder, a figure from Norse mythology. This is
supported by Lewis’s known love for northern myths and his particular reaction to the lines about Balder from Longfellow’s
“Tegnér’s Drapa.”
Khoddam, Salwa. “‘Where Sky and Water Meet’: Christian Iconography in C.S. Lewis’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”

the sun, the ship, the garden, particular characters, and the pageant which incorporates all of them. The author also describes
two of what she calls “false icons”: the sea and natural appetites.

Scholar Guest of Honor address at Mythcon 14. Discusses the nature and importance of imagination and, especially, myth.
Kilby, Clyde S. “Tolkien and Coleridge.” Tolkien Journal 4.1 (#11) (1970): 16–19.
Finds similarities in both authors’ love of philology, ability to tell a spell-binding story, and the long torment of the Mariner
and Frodo, as well as an essentially Catholic orientation and a regard for the numinous nature of life. (The author does not
posit any influence on Tolkien by Coleridge but simply notes similarities.)
Kilby, Clyde S. “Tolkien as Scholar and Artist.” Tolkien Journal 3.1 (#7) (1967): 9–11.
Looks at Tolkien’s sources and influences in literature, myth, and personal experience. Discusses the concept of “influence”
and the mistaken modern “worship” of “utter originality.” Lists and describes some of his scholarly works.

King, Don. “The Childlike in George MacDonald and C.S. Lewis.” Mythlore 12.4 (#46) (1986): 17–22, 26.
Asserts that Lewis and MacDonald wrote books not for children but for the childlike in all. Distinguishes between childish
and childlike, using examples from the Chronicles of Narnia and MacDonald. Such characters provide links to the childlike
within adult readers. Previously appeared as “George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and the Childlike.” Mythcon XVI, Wheaton
College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 122–34.
King, Don W. “Into the Lion’s Den: Joy Davidman and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.” Mythlore 30.1/2 (#115/116) (2011): 91–106.
Looks at Davidman’s involvement with Hollywood—her short and unlamented stint in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Junior
Writer Program in 1939, and her movie reviews for the Communist Party of the USA newspaper, New Masses, in 1941–1943.
Davidman’s incisive wit, impatience with any hint of phoniness, and passion for social, racial, and gender justice come
through clearly in her writing.
King, Don. “The Rhetorical Similarities of C.S. Lewis and Bertrand Russell.” Mythlore 15.1 (#55) (1988): 28–31.
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.

Gives a brief history of the “seven deadly sins” in Christianity, and of Lewis’s knowledge of them as indicated in his nonNarnian works. Argues that each book in the Chronicles of Narnia “seems to portray one deadly sin above all others.”
King, Don. “The Wardrobe as Christian Metaphor.” Mythlore 14.1 (#51) (1987): 25–27, 33.
Notes the frequency and importance of the door as a symbol in the Chronicles of Narnia. Relates this to scriptural examples
of the door as the way to God and/or salvation, and to Christ as the door.
Kinniburgh, Annie. “The Noldor and the Tuatha de Danaan: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Irish Influences.” Mythlore 28.1/2 (#107/108)
(2009): 27–44.
Shows what use Tolkien made of some elements of Celtic folklore by tracing similarities between Tolkien’s Noldor and the
Irish Tuatha de Danaan, demonstrating that his Elves owe at least as much to this heritage as to the Norse álfar.

Kisor, Yvette. “Totemic Reflexes in Tolkien’s Middle-earth.” Mythlore 28.3/4 (#109/110) (2010): 129–40.
A close look at Tolkien’s incorporation of traces of shamanism and totemism in his depiction of Gandalf and other characters;
yet another indication of how Tolkien created historical depth in his tales by reproducing the way traces of early mythic and
religious themes survive in later tales and folklore.
Klein, Deborah. “‘They Have Quarreled with the Trees’: Perverted Perceptions of ‘Progress’ in the Fiction Series of C.S.
Lewis.” Mythlore 32.2 (#124) (Spring/Summer 2014): 63–79.

Conclusion]. Mythlore 9.2 (#32) (1982): 38–41.
Jungian interpretation of the Kalevala, focusing on the character of Väinämöinen and his role as Shaman. Part 1 gives an
introduction to the Kalevala and to shamanism, then analyzes the creation myth in the Kalevala. Part 2 analyzes Väinämöinen’s
transformation of the land, the felling of the oak, the confrontation with Joukahainen, and the death of Aino. The third part
discusses Väinämöinen’s “second encounter with the anima figure in the being of Louki’s daughter.” The conclusion is a
Jungian analysis of Väinämöinen’s “night-sea journey” to the Abode of the Dead; his journey within the body of the giant
Antero Vipunen; and his fashioning of an “instrument of eternal joy,” the kantele.
Kobil, Daniel T. “The Elusive Appeal of the Fantastic.” Mythlore 4.4 (#16) (1977): 17–19.
Finds commonality between people who search for monsters such as the Loch Ness monster and those who read fantasy.
Both appeal to a psychological need to redress the balance in a culture which focuses too much on rational, right-brain
consciousness (based on the theories of Ornstein).
Kocher, Paul. “The Drúedain.” Mythlore 10.3 (#37) (1984): 23–25.

Kocher, Paul H. “J.R.R. Tolkien and George MacDonald.” Mythlore 8.3 (#29) (1981): 3–4.

“a firm structure and objectivity” as opposed to the “fervent but rather formless spirituality” due to MacDonald’s
romanticism.
Kocher, Paul. “The Tale of the Noldor.” Mythlore 4.3 (#15) (1977): 3–7.
Reviews the history of the Noldor, elves of the First Age, and their continuing influence in the affairs of the Third Age. A
retelling rather than a scholarly analysis, based on sources published before the availability of The Silmarillion.
Kocher, Paul H. “Túrin Turambar.” Mythlore 8.1 (#27) (1981): 22–23.
Reviews the story of Túrin Turambar from The Silmarillion, and briefly touches on how some of Tolkien’s themes are revealed.
Kollmann, Judith. “Charles Williams and Second-Hand Paganism.” Mythlore 11.2 (#40) (1984): 5–7, 20.
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.

Examines the concept of counsel, the part it plays in collaborative decision-making and consultative leadership in Tolkien’s
world, and what Jackson’s re-stagings of Tolkien’s scenes of council and counsel imply.
Kollmann, Judith. “Eros, Philia, and Agape in Charles Williams’ Arthuriad.” Mythlore 18.4 (#70) (1992): 9–14.
Argues that Williams, in recasting the Grail legend into his own Christian metaphysics, used the three Grail knights to
represent the three forms of love.
Kollmann, Judith. “The Figure of Beatrice in the Works of Charles Williams.” Mythlore 13.2 (#48) (1986): 3–8.
Keynote address, Mythcon 17. Notes the importance of the figure of Beatrice to Williams, and reviews his use of Beatrician
figures in his novels and poems.

(1984): 20–22, 44.
Compares War in Heaven to its literary sources, particularly Le Morte Darthur. Notes the ways the former incorporates specific
aspects of the Grail legend, as well as the differences Williams introduced to adapt the legend for a twentieth-century novel.

Examines social-political commentary on the post-war years from Warner’s non-combatant and female point of view in Lolly
Willowes and Kingdoms of Elfin. In both, fantasy is used subtly, or not so subtly, to critique the stagnation of consensus reality
and the patriarchal social order through the upheaval of the war.

Kotzin, Michael C. “C.S. Lewis and George MacDonald: The Silver Chair and the Princess Books.” Mythlore 8.1 (#27) (1981): 5–15.
Examines The Silver Chair in the light of two George MacDonald works which it resembles in many ways and which Lewis
included in his list of MacDonald’s six “great works,” The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie.
Kotzin, Michael C. “Mrs. Moore as the Queen of Underland.” Mythlore 6.3 (#21) (1979): 46.
Suggests that the character of the Queen of Underland in The Silver Chair was unconsciously based on C.S. Lewis’s companion
Mrs. Janie Moore.

Kreeft, Peter. “Narnia as Myth.” Narnia Conference, Palms Park, West Los Angeles, 1969. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles:
Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 35–39.
Considers various definitions of myth and shows how literary myths deliberately created by an individual differ from myths
that develop organically within a society. Concludes the truth within myth is what is important. Includes an extensive
quotation from The Last Battle.
Krieg, Laurence J. “Levels of Symbolic Meaning in Pearl.” Mythlore 5.2 (#18) (1978): 21–23.
Using Tolkien’s translation, examines three levels of meaning in the Middle English poem. Calls it a poem “into which is
woven an intense and organic symbolism of the Christian doctrine of death and eternal life.”
Krokstrom, Andrew. “Silent Wounds.” Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet
Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 131–43.
C.S. Lewis’s war experience has not been as closely studied as Tolkien’s. Krokstrom considers World War I in Lewis’s
autobiography and letters, paying particular attention to the lacunae—the details of his war service that Lewis glossed over
or suppressed. While Lewis was known for his tendency to compartmentalize his life, Krokstrom also finds a motive for
concealment in contemporary dismissive and discriminatory social and official attitudes toward sufferers of post-traumatic
stress disorder, or shell shock.

Mythlore 35.1 (#129) (2016): 45–64.
Looks at a particular aspect of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods: its evocation of the quintessential American small town of
Lakeside, Wisconsin. Lakeside is compared to similar small towns, with their more or less ambiguous undertones of
insularity and something not quite right, in Jerome Bixby’s “It’s a Good Life,” Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine, and Garrison
Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.

Ham.” Mythlore 34.1 (#127) (2015): 83–103.
An exploration of Tolkien’s depictions of dragons in his stories for children, Roverandom and Farmer Giles of Ham. Draws on
“On Fairy-stories,” the Beowulf lecture, the Father Christmas letters, and a little-known “Lecture on Dragons” Tolkien gave
to an audience of children at the University Museum in Oxford, as well as source Tolkien would have known: Nennius, The
Fairy Queene, and so on.

Examines how Lewis’s idea of “transposition […] the incorporation of the eternal into the material” operates in That Hideous
Strength.
Langford, Jonathon D. “The Scouring of the Shire as a Hobbit Coming-of-Age.” Mythlore 18.1 (#67) (1991): 4–9.
Contends the events of The Lord of the Rings, culminating in the Scouring of the Shire, demonstrate a coming-of-age for the
individual hobbits of the Fellowship, for some social and for others spiritual. The Shire’s response to Sharkey, especially
after the Fellowship members return, is a coming-of-age for Hobbit society as a whole.
Larsen, Corinne. “The Fourth Branch of the Mabinogion: Structural Analysis Illuminates Character Motivation.” Mythlore
19.4 (#74) (1993): 36–40.
Uses structural analysis (from Levi-Strauss) of the Fourth Branch (the story of Lleu and Gwydion) to discover information
about character motivations. Attempts to answer the apparent riddle of why Lleu sets up his own death.
Larsen, Kristine. “The Power of Pity and Tears: The Evolution of Nienna in the Legendarium.” Perilous and Fair: Women in the
Works and Life of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A. Donovan. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 189–203.
Larsen describes the development of Nienna from her earliest versions as a one-dimensional goddess of doom to a complex
and central figure of Middle-earth’s mythology. Contradicts views that Nienna’s only mode is to weep passively for others
by arguing that Tolkien eventually empowered this character with conceptions of mercy and mourning as participatory
actions echoing those in which Christian faith perceives the Virgin Mary as interacting with humanity.
Łaszkiewicz, Weronika. “Peter S. Beagle’s Transformations of the Mythic Unicorn.” Mythlore 33.1 (#125) (2014): 53–65.
Traces the development of Beagle’s unicorns through the novel The Last Unicorn and three other stories, paying particular
attention to how and why Beagle adapted and rejected certain distinguishing features of traditional unicorn lore and legend.
Laurent, John. “C.S. Lewis and Animal Rights.” Mythlore 19.1 (#71) (1993): 46–50.
Contends that Lewis’s stance on animal rights owed “a great deal to his interest in evolutionary theory.” Notes that Lewis
did not reject evolution as a scientific theory when he became a Christian; but he did reject the philosophical position of
evolutionism.
Le Guin, Ursula K. “Legends for a New Land.” Mythlore 15.2 (#56) (1988): 4–10.

24.1 (#91) (2003): 25–36.
Examines the Harry Potter series as an example of a “high fantasy scenario within the structure of a wainscot fantasy”—that
is, high fantasy themes taking place in a world of two parallel cultures, one an “invisible or undetected” society existing “in
the interstices of the dominant world.”

Discusses the mutual influence of Williams and Eliot, including as illustration a lengthy quote from Eliot’s introduction to
All Hallows’ Eve. Considers Eliot’s verse play The Cocktail Party for its “participation in the Christian mythopoeic genre of

(#95/96) (2006): 77–92. Also in Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan
Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 9–22.
Describes the Battle of the Somme and Tolkien’s participation in it. Pointing out the parallels between the battle-scarred
landscapes of Northern Europe and Middle-earth, Livingston notes that while they are worth cataloging, it is Tolkien’s
nuanced and sympathetic depiction of Frodo’s post-traumatic stress disorder that is the most compelling result of the
author’s war experiences. Provides a good overview of Tolkien’s war experiences and his literary response to them.
Livingston, Michael. “Troy and the Rings: Tolkien and the Medieval Myth of England.” Mythlore 32.1 (#123) (2013): 73–91.
Asserts that, far from abandoning his early grounding in the classics upon discovering Northern mythology and languages,
Greek and Roman motifs remained an important element of Tolkien’s “soup” and he used them in many ways in The Lord
of the Rings. Livingston pays particular attention to themes, characters, incidents, and Mediterranean history that have roots
in The Iliad. Family structure is one place where we can see convincing parallels, with Boromir as an asterisk-Hector and
Faramir as an asterisk-Paris, rewriting the deficiencies in their source-characters as Gondor is the history of Troy re-written.

Lloyd, Paul M. “The Role of Warfare and Strategy in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 3.3 (#11) (1976)/Tolkien Journal #18 (1976):
3–7.
After a brief analysis of the medieval nature of the arms, armor, and troops in the War of the Ring, examines the strategic
advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Postulates Sauron’s “poverty of imagination” as a fatal flaw. The realistic
depiction of military strategy gives The Lord of the Rings a feeling of “true” history.
Loback, Tom. “The Kindreds, Houses, and Population of the Elves during the First Age.” Mythlore 14.1 (#51) (1987): 34–38, 56.
A study of the Elves of the First Age, reviewing their social structure (the Great House or Kindred), population, and
demographics. Includes detailed charts and estimates of population numbers. (Middle-earth studies.)
Loback, Tom. “Orc Hosts, Armies and Legions: A Demographic Study.” Mythlore 16.4 (#62) (1990): 10, 12–16, 26.
Calculates the likely population of Orcs in Middle-earth at various times based on Tolkien’s use of the military terms host,
army, and legion. Uses The Silmarillion and several volumes of The History of Middle-earth to “show a developing concept of
Orc military organization and, by inference, an idea of Orc demographics.”
Lobdell, Jared. “Detective Fiction as Mythic Comedy.” Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac.
Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 146–53.
Overview of the detective or mystery story, particularly its development as a genre during the Golden Age between the wars
when Williams wrote reviews, and when there were other close professional, familial, philosophical, or Oxonian ties between
the Inklings and British mystery writers of this time. Relates the comedic anagnorisis of the resolution of the mystery to
Tolkien’s concept of eucatastrophe and concludes that mystery can be seen as “a form of mythic comedy, as presenting the
myth of deliverance.”
Logan, Darlene. “Battle Strategy in Perelandra: Beowulf Revisited.” Mythlore 9.3 (#33) (1982): 19, 21.
Sees a number of parallels between Ransom (in Perelandra) and Beowulf—both in personal characteristics and the details of
battles with their respective foes.
Loney, Douglas. “C.S. Lewis’s Debt to E.M. Forster’s ‘The Celestial Omnibus’ and Other Stories.” Mythlore 21.1 (#79) (1995): 14–22.
Demonstrates the debt C.S. Lewis owes to three short stories by E.M. Forster: “The Celestial Omnibus,” “The Other Side of
the Hedge,” and “The Story of a Panic.” Notes similarities in the character of Eustace Scrubb and other incidents and themes
in Lewis’s works.
Loney, Douglas. “Humpty Dumpty in the Heavens: Perspective in Out of the Silent Planet.” Mythlore 16.2 (#60) (1989): 14–20.
Notes the Humpty Dumpty imagery in Ransom’s dream of sitting on a garden wall in Out of the Silent Planet. Relates this to
the importance of the ability to change one’s perspective for Ransom and other characters.

Loney, Douglas. “Immortal Horrors and Everlasting Splendours: C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce.”
Mythlore 17.1 (#63) (1990): 28–33, 36–37.
Sees Screwtape and The Great Divorce as constituting “something like a sub-genre within the Lewis canon.” Both have explicit
religious intention, were written during WWII, and use a “rather informal, episodic structure.” Analyzes the different
perspectives of each work, and their treatment of the themes of Body and Spirit, Time and Eternity, and Love.
Long, Josh B. “Disparaging Narnia: Reconsidering Tolkien’s View of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Mythlore 31.3/4
(#121/122) (2013): 31–46.
Addresses the perennial question of J.R.R. Tolkien’s dislike for C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books, carefully analyzing numerous
first- and second-hand accounts from biographies, interviews, and letters. A previously unpublished letter from Tolkien to
Eileen Elgar adds a new and more nuanced element to our understanding of this issue.
Long, Josh B. “Pillaging Middle-earth: Self-plagiarism in Smith of Wootton Major.” Mythlore 32.2 (#124) (Spring/Summer
2014): 117–35.
Examines the fraught concept of “self-plagiarism” in Tolkien’s works. Self-plagiarism or self-borrowing is something more
than just repeating themes and motifs throughout one’s literary career, and Long details examples of scenes, dialogue,
character traits, and so on echoing from one work to another, with particular attention to The Lord of the Rings and Smith of
Wootton Major.
Long, Josh B. “Two Views of Faërie in Smith of Wootton Major: Nokes and his Cake, Smith and his Star.” Mythlore 26.3/4
(#101/102) (2008): 89–100.
An analysis of Smith of Wootton Major, showing how the cake and the star symbolize two diametrically opposed sets of
attitudes towards Faërie.
Louis, M.K. “Arthurian Wantons: Language, Lust, and Time in Victorian Poetry and Drama.” Mythlore 17.3 (#65) (1991): 31–32,
34–36, 63.
Compares several Victorian treatments of the Matter of Britain. Includes Tennyson’s moralistic version as well as
“theologically and linguistically subversive” works of later Victorians.
Lowentrout, Peter. “The Evocation of Good in Tolkien.” Mythlore 10.4 (#38) (1984): 32–33.
Counters criticism of fantasy as morally negligible or as leading to morbid escapism; instead applies Tolkien’s theory of
eucatastrophe and defends the “clarity and vigor” of his vision of good in his fantasy.
Lowentrout, Peter. “The Rags of Lordship: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and the Reenchantment of the World.” Mythlore 11.3
(#41) (1985): 47–51, 57.
Sees a movement at the leading edges of our culture away from the desacralized world and back toward the mythic. Sees
the genres of science fiction and fantasy providing aesthetic windows to the sacred. Along with science and religion, they
participate in a resynthesis of our culture’s assumptions, pointing toward individuality within fundamental unity and
broader notions of causality.
Luling, Virginia. “An Anthropologist in Middle-earth.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 53–57.
Presents some thoughts about Tolkien’s work as a vision of an unwesternized Europe, and on the re-enchantment of the
world, from the perspective of an anthropologist and campaigner for indigenous peoples’ rights.
Lüthi, Daniel. “Toying with Fantasy: The Postmodern Playground of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novels.” Mythlore 33.1
(#125) (2014): 125–42.
Attempts to discover exactly how Terry Pratchett manages to get away with violating the rules of the fantasy tradition laid
out in Tolkien’s “On Fairy-stories.” Pratchett consistently revels in the absurdity of Discworld as a concept, breaks the fourth
wall, and disrupts Tolkien’s proviso against satirizing magic itself; and yet the Discworld sails on, imperturbable. Pratchett’s
concept of narrative imperative is discussed as one of the keys to the success of his invented world.

Lutton, Jeannette Hume. “The Feast of Reason: Out of the Silent Planet as The Book of Hnau.” Mythlore 13.1 (#47) (1986): 37–41, 50.
Discusses the concept of hnau as developed in Out of the Silent Planet. Identifies Platonic and medieval ideas of the Rational
Soul (and its faculties of intellectus and ratio) as applied to Malacandra. Sees Out of the Silent Planet as expressive of the
apprehension of spiritual truth through Reason; Revelation is saved for Perelandra.
Lynch, James. “The Literary Banquet and the Eucharistic Feast: Tradition in Tolkien.” Mythlore 5.2 (#18) (1978): 13–14.
Examines the importance of shared meals in Tolkien’s works and relates them to feast days and the Eucharist in Christianity.
Identifies “a series of important parties, feasts, and banquets [...] which in differing degrees suggest the ambiance of the Last
Supper or the more general Eucharist feast.”
M
MacLeod, Jeffrey J. and Anna Smol. “A Single Leaf: Tolkien’s Visual Art and Fantasy.” Mythlore 27.1/2 (#103/104) (2008): 105–26.
A look into Tolkien’s thoughts on creativity, not just through “On Fairy-stories” and “Leaf by Niggle,” as one might expect,
but also through Tolkien’s visual art. The authors discuss and demonstrate how MacLeod’s own art was influenced by
Tolkien’s philosophy of sub-creation. Illustrated with six photos, sketches, and completed paintings by MacLeod.
Madsen, Catherine. “Light from an Invisible Lamp: Natural Religion in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 14.3 (#53) (1988): 43–47.
Argues that the tendency of many critics of The Lord of the Rings to “[mine] it for Christian content” does the work a disservice,
since Tolkien explicitly states that a Secondary World should not contain Primary World elements. Examines the “natural
religion” present in The Lord of the Rings, without obvious ritual, dogma, or god.
Madsen, Catherine. “Theological Reticence and Moral Radiance: Notes on Tolkien, Levinas, and Inuit Cosmology.”
Mythlore 32.1 (#123) (2013): 111–26.
Madsen pulls together three exceedingly disparate elements—the theology of loss and obligation of the Jewish philosopher
Emmanuel Levinas; the way the Inuit peoples of the Arctic regions relate to the hardships and challenges of their physical
and spiritual worlds; and incidents of self-sacrifice in Tolkien—into a challenging and rewarding whole.
Mandel, Mark. “The Ring-Inscription.” Tolkien Journal 1.2 (#2) (1965): 2.
Examines the Ring inscription for clues toward a grammar and vocabulary of the Black Speech.
Manganiello, Dominic. “The Artist as Magician: Yeats, Joyce, and Tolkien.” Mythlore 10.2 (#36) (1983): 13–15, 25.
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.
Manganiello, Dominic. “The Neverending Story: Textual Happiness in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 18.3 (#69) (1992): 5–14.
Discusses endings and closure in The Lord of the Rings with reference to literary theories of endings in literature, and to
Tolkien’s own “On Fairy-stories.”
Manganiello, Dominic. “Till We Have Faces: From Idolatry to Revelation.” Mythlore 23.1 (#87) (2000): 31–45.
Examines the “face” image and theme in Lewis’s novel and relates it to the use of the same image in a much broader literary
context, from Augustine to Oscar Wilde.
Marchesani, Diane. “Tolkien’s Lore: The Songs of Middle-earth.” Mythlore 7.1 (#23) (1980): 3–5.
Examines and categorizes the over sixty examples of folk-songs and poems in Middle-earth—songs of lore, ballads, balladstyle, and nonsense songs.
Markos, Louis. “Apologist for the Past: The Medieval Vision of C.S. Lewis’s ‘Space Trilogy’ and Chronicles of Narnia.”
Mythlore 23.2 (#88) (2001): 24–35.
Shows how the medieval model which Lewis articulated in The Discarded Image influenced both the Space Trilogy and the
Chronicles of Narnia.

Marmor, Paula. “The Wielders of the Three: and Other Trees.” Mythlore 2.4 (#8) (1972): 5–8.
Traces roots and characteristics of several of Tolkien’s characters in religious systems and symbols. Argues that “the bearers
of the three Elven rings—Galadriel, Elrond, and Gandalf [...] as well as the older bearers Gil-galad and Círdan—[are]
archetypal figures of a Moon-Water Goddess, a Sky-Air-Thunder God, and a Sun-Fire God.”

Finds inconsistencies in The Lord of the Rings appendix relating Middle-earth’s calendars to the Gregorian.
Martin, John Stephen. “Heroic Parody in James Dickey’s Deliverance.” Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985.
Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 154–60.
Analyzes Dickey’s popular novel of the early 1970s using Joseph Campbell’s theory of the monomyth, but finds the mythic
pattern is actually parodied, undermining the expected conclusion and relevance of the hero’s journey.
Martin, Thomas L. “Seven for Seven: The Voyage of the ‘Dawn Treader’ and the Literary Tradition.” Mythlore 34.2 (#128)
(2016): 47–68.
Examines the motif of the seven cardinal sins within Voyage, linking each of the seven lost lords of Narnia to a particular vice
and showing how the crew of the Dawn Treader resists the vices to which they succumbed. This essay is meant to be read
with Schuknecht, Mattison “C.S. Lewis’s Debt to Dante” in the same issue, as each comments on the other.
Martin, Tiffany Brooke. “Horses, Horoscopes, and Human Consciousness: Owen Barfield on Making Meaning in His PostWWI Writings.” Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft.
Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 165–84.
Like Lewis and Tolkien, Barfield served in World War I, and several of his short stories show the influence of the conflict
and his philosophical reaction to it. Martin discusses some of Barfield’s thinking on meaning in a post-war world and his
non-fiction and literary criticism, especially his review of the collected works of war poet Wilfrid Owen.
Martsch, Nancy. “Thiepval Ridge and Minas Tirith [Note].” Mythlore 33.2 (#126) (2015): 151–54.
Proposes a specific source for certain imagery associated with the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in Tolkien’s The Lord of the
Rings.
Martsch, Nancy. “A Tolkien Chronology.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 291–97.

13–18.
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.
Mathews, Richard. “The Edges of Reality in Tolkien’s Tale of Aldarion and Erendis.” Mythlore 18.3 (#69) (1992): 27–31.
Calls “The Tale of Aldarion and Erendis” one “which uniquely employs hard edges of reality to heighten the success of the
fantasy.”

College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 161–94.
Explores a number of themes and concerns paralleled in the works of Williams and Eliot—the Ways of Affirmation and
Negation of Images, exchange, substitution, and coinherence, and the image of the City—as well as their mutual admiration
and influence. Speculates as to why Williams is not held is as high esteem as Eliot.
McBride, Sam. “The Company They Didn’t Keep: Collaborative Women in the Letters of C.S. Lewis.” Mythlore 29.1/2
(#111/112) (2010): 69–86.
Building on the work of Diana Pavlac Glyer to establish a framework and set of terms for understanding the collaborative
nature of the Inklings, McBride takes us outside their exclusively masculine circle to look at women who influenced Lewis’s
writing. His study introduces us to women who served Lewis as, in Glyer’s terms, Resonators, Opponents, Conductors, and
so on, from anonymous fans to well-known names like Pitter and Sayers.
McBride, Sam. See also Fredrick, Candice.
McClatchy, J. “Praise and Christian Unity in War in Heaven.” Mythlore 8.1 (#27) (1981): 19–21.
Discusses the importance of two themes in War in Heaven—Praise (of God), particularly as demonstrated in the Archdeacon,
and Christian unity, symbolized by the joint actions of the Archdeacon, the Duke, and Mornington.

McComas, Alan. “Negating and Affirming Spirit through Language: The Integration of Character, Magic, and Story in The
Lord of the Rings.” [Part 2]. Mythlore 19.3 (#73) (1993): 40–49.
Focuses on Tolkien’s narrative treatment in The Lord of the Rings and the “Ring as an emergent symbol of language itself.”
Notes that through Tolkien’s “characterization of protagonists and antagonists, his use of sub-texts and ‘sub-authors,’
Tolkien demonstrates the ways in which magic and language are bound up with one another.”
McCormack, Una. “Finding Ourselves in (Un)Mapped Lands: Women’s Reparative Readings of The Lord of the Rings.”
Perilous and Fair: Women in the Works and Life of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A. Donovan.
Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 309–26.
Documents the ways in which some women write fanfiction as a creative-critical response to Tolkien's text. McCormack
investigates a representative sample of fanfiction that inserts new or previously marginalized female characters into
Tolkien’s familiar story to dialogue with the canonic text about issues of gender and power.
McDaniel, Kathryn N. “The Elfin Mystique: Fantasy and Feminism in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series.” Past Watchful
Dragons: Fantasy and Faith in the World of C.S. Lewis. Ed. Amy H. Sturgis. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2007. 183–207.

Recounts the origins of the legend of Lilith, and gives examples of the use of Lilith figures by a number of nineteenth century
writers. Examines MacDonald’s interpretation of Lilith in his novel of the same name.
McGillis, Roderick. “‘If You Call Me Grandmother, That Will Do.’” Mythlore 6.3 (#21) (1979): 27–28.
Studies an enigmatic character in MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, the old woman in the tower. Notes some of the
explanations offered for whom she represents, and discusses her function as embodying the reconciliation of opposites.
McGregor, Jamie. “Tolkien’s Devices: The Heraldry of Middle-earth.” Mythlore 32.1 (#123) (2013): 93–110.
Studies a set of images Tolkien deploys with great skill to represent essential thematic elements of the opposition between
forces of the Alliance and the Enemy. These include the organic and natural symbols of Gondor, Rohan, Dol Amroth as
opposed to the Eye of Mordor and White Hand of Isengard. McGregor’s observations on Saruman’s choice of imagery are
particularly valuable in showing how Tolkien revealed the wizard’s attempts to play both sides even at the symbolic level.

McGregor, Jamie. “Two Rings to Rule Them All: A Comparative Study of Tolkien and Wagner.” Mythlore 29.3/4 (#113/114)
(2011): 133–53.
A close comparison of Wagner’s Ring Cycle and the history of the One Ring in Tolkien’s legendarium which goes far beyond
the usual shallow or dismissive comparison between the two. Here we see Tolkien, as he frequently did, absorbing the
influence of an earlier author and responding in the form of a correction based on his sense that Wagner had, as Shippey put
it, “got something very important not quite right” (Road 344).
McGuire, Damaris Walsh. “Memories of Joy, Jack, and Chad.” Chad Walsh Reviews C.S. Lewis. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press,

attachments and definitions of the phrase to “live from a new root.”
McLaren, Scott. “Hermeticism and the Metaphysics of Goodness in the Novels of Charles Williams.” Mythlore 24.3/4 (#93/44)

and the Chronicles of Narnia.
McMenomy, Bruce. “Arthurian Themes in the Narnia Books.” Narnia Conference, Palms Park, West Los Angeles, 1969. Ed.
Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 8–10.

Melton, Brian. “The Great War and Narnia: C.S. Lewis as Soldier and Creator.” Mythlore 30.1/2 (#115/116) (2011): 123–42. Also
in Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena:
Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 144–64.
Looks at influence of World War I in Lewis’s autobiography and on war in Narnia, correcting mistaken search by some critics for
deep-seated war trauma in Lewis’s life. Reinforces that Lewis and Tolkien were not psychological twins, had differing
personalities going into the war, and came out of it with different approaches to dealing with war in their fiction. The Chronicles
being children’s books, Lewis operated under certain self-imposed restrictions in writing them, and yet managed to convey some
realistic lessons about war learned through his own harrowing experiences. Also addresses the issue of gaps in Lewis’s
autobiography.
Mende, Lisa Anne. “Gondolin, Minas Tirith and the Eucatastrophe.” Mythlore 13.2 (#48) (1986): 37–40.
Compares the tragic end of Gondolin with the eucatastrophic rescue of Minas Tirith. Similarly, other tales in The Silmarillion
end tragically while parallel stories in Lord of the Rings have happier resolutions.
Mesibov, Robert. “Tolkien and Spiders.” Tolkien Journal 4.3 (#13) (1969–1970): 3–5.
Considers both spiders and spider-imagery applied to other characters in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Published
prior to Carpenter’s biography, it makes no reference to Tolkien’s childhood encounter with a spider.
Meškys, Edmund R. “Science Fiction Fans Salute Tolkien.” Tolkien Journal 3.1 (#7) (1967): 12–13.
A brief history of Tolkien-related fanzines and other fan frivolities. A useful list of early fan-produced materials.
Milburn, Michael. “Art According to Romantic Theology: Charles Williams’s Analysis of Dante Reapplied to J.R.R.
Tolkien’s ‘Leaf by Niggle.’” Mythlore 29.3/4 (#113/114) (2011): 57–75.
Provides a grounding in Charles Williams’s “romantic theology,” which was heavily indebted to his reading of Dante, and
the application of romantic theology to art, which Milburn demonstrates by examining Tolkien’s “Leaf by Niggle” through
this lens. Winner of the Alexei Kondratiev Award at Mythcon 41.
Miller, David M. “Hobbits: Common Lens for Heroic Experience.” Tolkien Journal 4.1 (#11) (1970): 11–15.
Theorizes that works of fantasy need some sort of bridge linking them to the primary world in order to have literary depth.
After discussing bridging devices in several other fantasies, notably Eddison’s The Worm Ouroboros, the author locates
Tolkien’s bridging device in the initial utter ordinariness and realistic character growth of the hobbits, with whom the reader
is led to identify from the start and therefore throughout their later encounters with the high and heroic of Middle-earth.
Miller, Jennifer L. “No Sex in Narnia? How Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘Snow Queen’ Problematizes C.S. Lewis’s The
Chronicles of Narnia.” Mythlore 28.1/2 (#107/108) (2009): 113–30.
Author speculates that echoes of Andersen’s “Snow Queen” inevitably (for readers familiar with the tale) bring a tinge of
sexuality to encounters with the White Witch of Narnia. In this way, Lewis’s deliberately sexless tales become, for some
characters, an exploration of dealing with the pull toward maturity. Touches on responses to Narnia by Pullman and
Gaiman.
Miller, John. “Mapping Gender in Middle-earth.” Mythlore 34.2 (#128) (2016): 133–52.
Examines the geography and both natural and created landscapes of Middle-earth in terms of what they reveal about gender
and race, and how Tolkien used landscape to “[map] alternative masculinities onto […] different races” and emphasize
contrasting depictions of femininity through female characters and races that either “stay put” or wander.
Miller, Miriam Y. “The Green Sun: A Study of Color in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 7.4 (#26) (1981): 3–11.
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.
Miller, Ryder W. “American Survivor: William Faulkner’s A Fable [Note].” Mythlore 34.2 (#128) (2016): 173–74.
Draws our attention to American World War I veteran William Faulkner’s A Fable as an example of the fantastic in response
to the war’s trauma.

29.1/2 (#111/112) (2010): 29–50.
Reading of Ursula K. Le Guin’s not-exactly-historical novel Lavinia, which combines her thematic interest in the feminine
voice and experience with postmodern and existential concerns about authorship, textuality, and the collaboration between
author and reader (and author and character)—resulting, as always with Le Guin, in something rich, deep, and difficult to
classify. Explores how Le Guin adapted the original sources to create a novel from the female character’s point of view.
Miller, T.S. “The Pearl Maiden’s Psyche: The Middle English Pearl and the Allegorical-Visionary Impulse in Till We Have
Faces.” Mythlore 30.1/2 (#115/116) (2011): 43–76.
Lewis’s firm assertion that Till We Have Faces is not the least bit allegorical is challenged through its parallels in plot and
theme with the highly allegorical Middle English Pearl. The deep allegorical structures in both revolve around seeing truly
and falsely, and blindness both intentional and ignorant.
Milne, Nicholas. “Chesterton’s Ballad of the White Horse: From Conception to Critical Reception.” Mythlore 35.1 (#129)
(2016): 23–42.
Follows Chesterton’s development of the idea of using King Alfred and the Battle of Ethandune as the core of a long poem
on England and Englishness, and examines how the poem was received by contemporaries, fared in later criticism, and
influenced other writers.

Examines the genre of alternate history or counterfactual speculation, which suddenly became a popular form of “revisionist
escapism” in the years immediately following World War I. Bookended with quotations from T. S. Eliot, Milne’s paper
investigates the causes of the genre’s sudden rise and the issues raised by its practitioners.

Mitchell, Bruce. “J.R.R. Tolkien and Old English Studies: An Appreciation.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 206–12.
Assesses Tolkien’s contributions to scholarship, and argues that “Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics” has had more
influence than most of the products of his critics and has inspired many Old English scholars.

Mitchell, Jesse. “Master of Doom by Doom Mastered: Heroism, Fate, and Death in The Children of Húrin.” Mythlore 29.1/2
(#111/112) (2010): 87–114.
This extensive study of Túrin Turambar uses two frameworks to examine his character and story: that of the Byronic Hero
(with a side glance at the Gothic Villain in order to differentiate the two), and that of the Absurd Hero, exemplified by
Camus’s Sisyphus.

Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic
Press, 2015. 209–33.
Closely studies Chesterton’s problematic 1915 pamphlet The Crimes of England, a propagandistic re-telling of European
history full of “fantastic and chivalric imagery” (203) and fairy tale tropes. Mitchell considers Chesterton’s choice of fantasy
symbolism in light of some of his other writings on war and politics.
Mitchell, Phillip Irving. “‘But Grace is Not Infinite’: Tolkien’s Explorations of Nature and Grace in His Catholic Context.”
Mythlore 31.3/4 (#121/122) (2013): 61–81.

contemporary real world theological debates which might have influenced his thinking, including discussions of the
supernatural like Pius XII’s 1950 encyclical Humani Generis.

Murphy, G. Ronald, S.J. “Yggdrasil and the Stave Church.” Mythlore 31.1/2 (#119/120) (2012): 5–27.
In this excerpt from his book, Tree of Salvation, Murphy explores how those who introduced Christianity to Scandinavia
deliberately adapted and “translated” Norse religious motifs and practices in two parallel ways—through literary works,
especially as seen in the Heliand, but also through church art and architecture. In this illustrated essay, we can see how beliefs
about Yggdrasil and Ragnarok are incorporated and transformed in the design and ornamentation of the unusual stave
churches of Norway. Scholar GOH speech, Mythcon 2012.
Murphy, Patrick D. “The High and Low Fantasies of Feminist (Re)Mythopoeia.” Mythlore 16.2 (#60) (1989): 26–31.
Discusses elements of myth and fantasy in the works of five contemporary women poets. Notes the use of mythopoeia in a
feminist context is used for “revisionist mythmaking.”
Musacchio, George. “C.S. Lewis’s A Grief Observed as Fiction.” Mythlore 12.3 (#45) (1986): 24–27.
Supports (although for different reasons) Walter Hooper’s contention that A Grief Observed is only partly autobiographical.
Bases his conclusion on literary style, similar past work, the psychology of grief, and letters written by Lewis following his
wife’s death. Previously appeared in Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena:
Mythopoeic Society,1985. 206–16.

Myers, Doris. “Breaking Free: The Closed Universe Theme in E.M. Forster, Owen Barfield, and C.S. Lewis.” Mythlore 21.3
(#81) (1996): 7–11.
Reviews “the role of the Enlightenment in gaining acceptance for the model of the closed universe and how that model
contrasts with the medieval [...] model.” Examines the use of the theme of the closed universe and breaking out of it in
Forster, Barfield, and Lewis.
Myers, Doris T. “C.S. Lewis’ Passages: Chronological Age and Spiritual Development in Narnia.” Mythlore 11.3 (#41) (1985): 52–56.
Admires the ways the Chronicles balance the idea that chronological age of characters is relatively unimportant with the
concept of “spiritual age”—tasks of spiritual development associated with particular stages in life.

ignores the natural law, representing alienation from nature and “licit” law, religion, and science.
Myers, Doris T. “What Lewis Really Did to The Time Machine and The First Men in the Moon.” Mythlore 13.3 (#49) (1987): 47–50, 63.

substitutes the triumphant values of “Old Western Man” for Wells’s science/technology and socialism. Previously appeared
as “What Lewis Really Did to The First Men and The Time Machine.” Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed.

Alexei Kondratiev Student Paper Award, Mythcon 45. Examines traditional political structures, theories of how they work,

Lewis and Tolkien.
Nelson, Marie. “Bird Language in T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone.” Mythlore 8.2 (#28) (1981): 35–37.
Analyzes the talking birds in The Sword in the Stone for what they show about White’s knowledge of language. Notes the
birds use “dialects appropriate to their social levels” and “speak, at various times, language characteristic of different stages
in the origin of bird language.”
Nelson, Marie. “‘The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son’: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Sequel to ‘The Battle of Maldon.’”
Mythlore 26.3/4 (#101/102) (2008): 65–87.
Considers the application of speech act theory to Tolkien’s “The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son” and its
source, “The Battle of Maldon,” and how different speech acts propel the action of each story.
Nelson, Marie. “J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘Leaf by Niggle’: An Allegory in Transformation.” Mythlore 28.3/4 (#109/110) (2010): 5–19.
Nelson demonstrates that Tolkien’s allegorical short story, “Leaf by Niggle,” owes a debt to the medieval play Everyman as
its primary spiritual ancestor, and discusses changes Tolkien makes to its message in the light of concepts he developed in
“On Fairy-stories,” along the way touching on the differences between works meant for performance and silent reading.

exemplifies ancient patterns of regenerative sacrifice.
Noad, Charles E. “Frodo and his Spectre: Blakean Resonances in Tolkien.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 58–62.
Comparisons between Blake and Tolkien are tempting, not least because of superficial resemblances, but more valid
comparisons can be made in their treatment of similar underlying themes. One such is shown in the opposition of Los and
his Spectre (Blake) and of Frodo and Gollum (Tolkien), where a comparison points up the outlooks and limitations of both
writers.
Noetzel, Justin T. and Matthew R. Bardowell. “The Inklings Remembered: A Conversation with Colin Havard.” Mythlore

Oberhelman, David D. “‘Coming to America’: Fantasy and Native America Explored, an Introduction.” The Intersection of
Fantasy and Native America: From H.P. Lovecraft to Leslie Marmon Silko Ed. Amy H. Sturgis and David D. Oberhelman.
Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2009. iii–vii.
Introduction. Uses Neil Gaiman’s American Gods to introduce this volume’s pairing of fantasy and Native American literature
and its intersection of concepts about race, ethnicity, culture, history, language, and especially literature.
O’Brien, Donald. “On the Origin of the Name ‘Hobbit.’” Mythlore 16.2 (#60) (1989): 32–38.
Notes that although Tolkien believed at first that he had invented the word “hobbit,” he became concerned that he might
have encountered it and subconsciously reproduced it. Reviews a number of possible sources of the word suggested by
scholars.
Olszański, Tadeusz Andrzej. “Evil and the Evil One in Tolkien’s Theology.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 298–300.
Analyzes Tolkien’s theological theory of evil: first its cosmological aspect (especially the relationship between Eru and
Melkor), then the place of evil in the structure of the world, the question of salvation, and finally, the question of the End
and the second “Doom of Mandos” announcing Morgoth’s fall.
Osburne, Andrea. “The Peril of the World.” Tolkien Journal #15 (1972): 16–17.
Examines Tolkien’s Ring in relation to other rings in folklore, myth, and fantasy, and their association with power through

Oziewicz, Marek. “Christian, Norse, and Celtic: Metaphysical Belief Structures in Nancy Farmer’s The Saxon Saga.”
Mythlore 30.1/2 (#115/116) (2011): 107–21.
Introduces a young adult historical-fantasy trilogy, The Saxon Saga by Nancy Farmer, and elucidates the value of its
multicultural approach in our distrustful and fragmented age. The respectful representation of three conflicting cultures in
the novels—Christian, Norse, and Celtic—demonstrates to young readers that people may hold vastly different metaphysical
views and yet may have many core values in common, enough to forge a relationship of mutual trust.
Oziewicz, Marek. “‘Let the Villains Be Soundly Killed at the End of the Book’: C.S. Lewis’s Conception of Justice in the
Chronicles of Narnia.” Past Watchful Dragons: Fantasy and Faith in the World of C.S. Lewis. Ed. Amy H. Sturgis.
Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2007. 41–63.
Explores how the Narnia tales fulfill the spiritual human thirst for justice. The myth-derived justice embraced and
communicated by Lewis in his fantasy series, Oziewicz proposes, is a compensational justice based on “getting what one
deserves”; this particular conception of justice not only reflects certain assumptions about guilt, crime, compensation, and
responsibility, but it also forms a practical ideal Lewis believed should be sought and achieved in the real world.
Oziewicz, Marek and Daniel Hade. “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell? Philip Pullman, C.S. Lewis, and the Fantasy
Tradition.” Mythlore 28.3/4 (#109/110) (2010): 39–54.
Closely scrutinizes Pullman’s frequent denials of his quite obvious debt to C.S. Lewis, finding the hidden nuances in
Pullman’s statements by separating out his responses to Lewis as a reader, author, and critic. The inescapable conclusion is
that not only is Pullman writing classic fantasy, he is in close agreement with Lewis on many points as a reader and critic.
P
Pace, David Paul. “The Influence of Vergil’s Aeneid on The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 6.2 (#20) (1979): 37–38.
Examines selected parallels between characters and events in The Lord of the Rings and The Aeneid. Argues that although
medieval sources are the most significant for The Lord of the Rings, among classical influences “the Aeneid shares more
common elements with LotR than either the Iliad or the Odyssey.”

Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2009. 153–65.

Panshin, Cory Seidman. “Old Irish Influences Upon the Languages and Literature of The Lord of the Rings.” Tolkien Journal
3.4 (#10) (1969): 7–8.
First looks at historical changes in Old Irish as possible sources for similar changes in the development of Sindarin from
Quenya. Then considers the subject matter and rhyme scheme of “Eärendil,” Bilbo’s poem composed in Rivendell, and
“Errantry,” its comic companion from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, as similar in structure and subject matter to Old Irish
“voyages” poems.
Panshin, Cory Seidman. See also Seidman, Cory.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “‘All Nerves and Nose’: Lord Peter Wimsey as Wounded Healer in the Novels of Dorothy L. Sayers.”
Mythlore 14.4 (#54) (1988): 13–16.
Finds parallels in the life of Lord Peter Wimsey (as delineated in Sayers’s novels) to the shamanistic journey. In particular,
Lord Peter’s war experiences have made him a type of Wounded Healer.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “Always Winter and Never Christmas: Symbols of Time in Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia.” Mythlore
18.1 (#67) (1991): 10–14.
Disagrees with Kilby that the appearance of Father Christmas in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is “incongruous.” Sees
him as key to Lewis’s understanding of the theological significance of time and eternity.

these gardens. Also covers other gardens in Lewis’s works, including the biscuit-tin garden described in his autobiography
as his first glimpse of beauty and the garden where Digory plucks the silver apple in The Magician’s Nephew.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “Archetypes of the Mother in the Fantasies of George MacDonald.” Mythcon I, Harvey Mudd College,
Claremont, CA, 1970. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 14–20.
A study of the Wise Woman, Mother, or Grandmother figure throughout George MacDonald’s fantasy. Discusses how
MacDonald is better understood through Jungian rather than Freudian analysis. Places imagery associated with these figures
in their mythological, symbolic, and religious contexts, and examines both the beneficial and deadly aspects of the anima as
shown in their actions.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “Banquet at Belbury: Festival and Horror in That Hideous Strength.” Mythlore 8.3 (#29) (1981): 7–14.
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.

Analyzes in detail the symbols of evil in The Screwtape Letters. Lewis presents evil as various forms of the privatio boni, or
absence of good.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “Lord of the Beasts: Animal Archetypes in C.S. Lewis.” Narnia Conference, Palms Park, West Los
Angeles, 1969. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 24–32.
Explores Lewis’s use of talking animals in the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy (and even his childhood writings
about “clothed animals”). Traces the use of animals in religious and spiritual imagery from prehistoric times through pagan
religions and fairy tales and discusses critical theories of Jung, Eliade, and other writers. Finds a parallel between a passage
from Carlos Casteneda’s Teachings of Don Juan and Aslan’s post-resurrection romp with Lucy and Susan.

Lewis’s use of food symbolism, and particularly Eucharistic symbolism, in his fantasy novels.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “Narnia and the North: The Symbolism of Northernness in the Fantasies of C.S. Lewis.” Mythlore 4.2
(#14) (1976): 9–16.
Reacting to a description of Narnia as analogous to Southern France, argues that “for Lewis, the way to God lay through the
North,” and Narnia is a Northern landscape. Discusses at length the symbolism of North and South in various mythologies,
and touches on the significance of Northernness in Tolkien and Williams as well.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “A Ring of Good Bells: Providence and Judgement in Dorothy L. Sayers’ The Nine Tailors.” 16.1 (#59)
(1989): 50–52.
Analyzes the action of Providence in The Nine Tailors to bring about retributive justice. Sees the novel as an expression of

and symbolism of each, and speculates briefly about their post-novel futures. Previously appeared in Mythcon XVI, Wheaton
College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 247–70.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “The Triumph of Love: Interpretations of the Tarot in Charles Williams’ The Greater Trumps.” Mythcon
III, Regency Hyatt House, Long Beach, CA, 1972. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1974. 12–32.
Extended study of Tarot imagery in Williams’ The Greater Trumps, with examination of Eliot’s possible influence on Williams
through his earlier use of Tarot symbolism in The Waste Land. A substantial portion traces the history of Tarot and the
evolution of its symbolism through several important decks, then looks at Williams’s interpretation in his novel. Also
examines the Roman triumph ceremony and the figure of the Fool for their surprisingly rich interconnections with the Tarot
and The Greater Trumps.
Patterson, Nancy-Lou. “Why We Honor the Centenary of Dorothy L. Sayers (1893–1957).” Mythlore 19.3 (#73) (1993): 4–5.
Describes Sayers’s relationships with Lewis and Williams in particular, and their mutual influences on each other.
Pauline, Sister, C.S.M. “Mysticism in the Ring.” Tolkien Journal 3.4 (#10) (1969): 12–14.
Considers a large part of the appeal of Lord of the Rings to rest in its mysticism; that is, the way of seeing all things and actions
as part of a larger whole. Uses Williams’s concept of coinherence to help explain this idea. Defines mysticism as distinct from
allegory and complementary to science. Concludes with a discussion of reconciliation of opposites as a foundation of the
mystical worldview, particularly in Eastern thought.

Pavlac, Diana Lynne. “More than a Bandersnatch: Tolkien as a Collaborative Writer.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 367–74.
It is commonly argued that the Inklings had no influence on Tolkien. This paper will show that they had a profound
influence, so much so, that Lewis and Williams should be considered co-architects of Middle-earth.

Lord of the Rings. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2004. 81–99.
A working author’s understanding of the process of revision, and how Jackson’s films can be seen as an extension of Tolkien’s
tendency to constantly revise his creation even after publication. Concludes that a great story has the resilience to withstand
even the sort of changes Jackson made, and that new versions can add richness to an established work. Concludes with an
examination of Jackson’s treatment of Aragorn.
Paxson, Diana. “The Tolkien Tradition.” Mythlore 11.1 (#39) (1984): 23–27, 37.
Analyzes what makes a fantasy “in the Tolkien tradition” and applies this definition to a number of contemporary fantasy
authors, including Ursula Le Guin, Richard Adams, Lloyd Alexander, and Stephen R. Donaldson.
Paxson, Diana. “What I Did for Love.” Mythlore 17.1 (#63) (1990): 4–8.
Guest of Honor speech Mythcon 21. Follows the conference theme, “Aspects of Love in Fantasy,” and discusses various
kinds of love and their appearance in fantasy. Concludes those “which appear most strongly in modern mythopoeic fantasy”
are comradeship/ caritas, love of place, and “the attraction towards the numinous, or Divine.”

Examines the structure of the 12 chapters of Grendel as following the pattern of the zodiac and its signs. Notes the conflict
between Grendel’s nihilistic and chaotic view of the universe with the belief in mythic order by Beowulf and the Scyldings.
Payne, Craig. “The Redemption of Cain in John Gardner’s Grendel.” Mythlore 18.2 (#68) (1992): 12–16.
Examines Gardner’s Grendel in terms of the clash of the title character’s world-view versus that of the Men in the story. Pays
particular attention to Grendel’s position as a descendant of Cain.

A detailed study of Beagle’s The Last Unicorn, analyzing in particular its metafictional techniques. Notes the Blakean
synthesis of opposites achieved by Beagle.
Pennington, John. “Phantastes as Metafiction: George MacDonald’s Self-Reflexive Myth.” Mythlore 14.3 (#53) (1988): 26–29.
Considers MacDonald a more modern and self-reflexive fantasist then previously recognized. Believes the use of “other
myths and interpolated fictions” in Phantastes “anticipates modern metafictional techniques.”
Peoples, Galen. “The Agnostic in the Whirlwind: The Seven Novels of Charles Williams.” Mythlore 2.2 (#6) (1970): 10–15.

Peoples, Galen. “The Great Beast: Imagination in Harness.” Mythlore 2.1 (#5) (1970)/Tolkien Journal 4.2 (#12) (1970): 19–20.
Argues that the need for imaginative expression, if not directed toward the “intentional and moral” fantasy typified by the
Inklings, can lead to an unhealthy interest in (and practice of) occultism.
Peretti, Daniel. “The Ogre Blinded and The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 25.3/4 (#97/98) (2007): 133–43.
Applies folk-tale analysis tools to the climactic Mount Doom scene of The Lord of the Rings, finding intriguing roots in the
“ogre blinded” motif most familiar to readers from the Polyphemos episode of The Odyssey.
Persyn, Catherine. “‘In My End is My Beginning’: The fin-negans Motif in George MacDonald’s At the Back of the North
Wind.” Mythlore 24.3/4 (#93/44) (2006): 53–69.

Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 299–310.
White directly and unequivocally incorporated a critique of modern war as a major theme in his retelling of the Arthuriad,
The Once and Future King. White’s Arthur uses modern strategies and tactics to defeat the ossified traditions of his opponents;
in turn he cannot withstand Mordred’s even more modern innovations, and the cycle continues without foreseeable end.
Pietrusz, Jim. “Rites of Passage: The Chronicles of Narnia and the Seven Sacraments.” Mythlore 14.4 (#54) (1988): 61–63.
Sees each of the Narnia chronicles except The Last Battle associated with one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic and
Anglican traditions.

Pope, Elizabeth M. “The Attic of Faerie.” Mythlore 9.1 (#31) (1982): 8–10.
Guest of Honor speech, Mythcon 12. Discusses relationship of fairy tales to older myths, and warns against

Mirkwood in Tolkien’s The Hobbit.” Mythlore 33.1 (#125) (2014): 67–84.
Considers the roots of Mirkwood in European fairy tale traditions, using Basile’s Pentamerone as a typical example, and how
Tolkien adapted and rejected traditional features of the perilous wood to suit his thematic and stylistic needs as a storyteller.

Potts, Stephen. “The Many Faces of the Hero in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 17.4 (#66) (1991): 4–11.
Guest of Honor address at Mythcon 22. Reviews various definitions and characteristics of the hero according to several
folklorists and psychologists. Discusses Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, and Sam as heroes according to these definitions.
Price, Beverly. “Sheri S. Tepper and Feminism’s Future.” Mythlore 18.2 (#68) (1992): 41–44.
Defines the “patriarchal feminist heroine” as an almost superhuman individual who exists within a patriarchal society
without changing it. Sees a shift in Tepper’s work from such individuals to a focus on groups and whole societies, which are
more effective at causing social change.
Price, Meredith. “‘All Shall Love Me and Despair’: The Figure of Lilith in Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, and Sayers.” Mythlore
9.1 (#31) (1982): 3–7, 26.
Examines Lilith-figures in Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, and Sayers, discussing how each demonstrates certain attributes of the
archetypal temptress character.
Price, Steven. “Freedom and Nature in Perelandra.” Mythlore 8.3 (#29) (1981): 38–40, 42.
A religious and psychological analysis of Perelandra, noting the significance of change vs. stasis, free will, and the nature
symbolism that reinforces them.
Purdy, Margaret R. “Battle Hill: Places of Transition in Charles Williams’ Descent Into Hell.” Mythlore 7.2 (#24) (1980): 11–12.
Notes that Williams uses many elements of the traditional ghost story in Descent Into Hell, especially in the story of the
suicide. However, Williams “touches [the ghost story] with the numinous, giving its symbols a sacramental meaning.”
Purdy, Margaret R. “Symbols of Immortality: A Comparison of European and Elvish Heraldry.” Mythlore 9.1 (#31) (1982):
19–22, 36.
Reviews basics of European heraldry and attempts to deduce the rules of Tolkien’s elvish heraldry. Finds that elvish heraldry
seems to have rules (although less stringently applied) but considerably more artistic complexity.
Purtill, Richard L. “Heaven and Other Perilous Realms.” Mythlore 6.4 (#22) (1979): 3–6.
Examines the ways the short story “Leaf by Niggle” differs from other works by Tolkien: primarily because it is a more
obvious allegory, but also because of the clear way the allegory is worked out morally, aesthetically, and religiously.
Considers the story as “midway between the essay [OFS] where Tolkien talks about his work, and most of his other fiction
and poetry, where he simply gets on with it.”
Purtill, Richard L. See also Bratman, David, “A Centennial Retrospective on Charles Williams.”

Palms Park, West Los Angeles, 1969. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 33–34.
Notes some of the parallels between Lewis’s Calormenes and traditional Arabian society and government, Babylonian
religion, Turkish military dress and tactics, and general Middle Eastern geography and architecture.
Randolph, Burt. “The Singular Incompetence of the Valar.” Tolkien Journal 3.3 (#9) (1968): 11–13.
Pre-Silmarillion speculation on the roles and powers of the Valar in Middle-earth, and why they seem to be depicted as fallible
and not entirely omnipotent.
Rateliff, John D. “‘And Something Yet Remains to be Said’: Tolkien and Williams.” Mythlore 12.3 (#45) (1986): 48–54.
Attempts to sort through Tolkien’s comments on Charles Williams “to show that Tolkien’s opinion of Williams underwent
a radical change years after Williams’ death.” Concludes the two main reasons were the death of Lewis and the rise of
scholarly criticism defining the Inklings as a literary circle. Previously appeared in Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton,
IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 271–86.

Rateliff, John D. “The Lost Letter: Seeking the Keys to Williams’s Arthuriad.” Mythlore 34.1 (#127) (2015): 5–36.
Mythcon 47 Guest of Honor address. The Arthuriad is dense with allusion and the reader often has a sense of missing much
that goes on below the surface; as it happens, the reader is not wrong to be confused. Rateliff finds the keys that unlock this
poetic sequence à clef in a relatively unknown letter Williams wrote in answer to a list of questions on the Arthuriad from
C.S. Lewis, in the “gynecomorphical map” drawn to Williams’s personal specifications which served as endpapers to the
poetry, and in Williams’s private life as revealed in letters and memoirs, in particular to personae he ascribed to certain
women in his life. Includes illustrations.
Rateliff, John D. “The Missing Women: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lifelong Support for Women’s Higher Education.” Perilous and
Fair: Women in the Works and Life of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A. Donovan. Altadena:
Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 41–69.
Rateliff explores the ways in which Tolkien’s female family members, students, and colleagues informed his views on
women as well as his writing. Examines several obvious and often overlooked instances of strong women in Tolkien’s life
in order to highlight his commitment to higher education for women as proof that he understood and empathized with
women’s concerns.
Rateliff, John D. “Owen Barfield: A Short Reading List.” C.S. Lewis, Owen Barfield: A Souvenir Book for the Centenary
Celebration. Held at Wheaton, Illinois, July 15–20, 1998. Mythcon XXIX, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1998. Ed. Wayne
G. Hammond. Williamstown: Mythopoeic Society, 1998. 22–25.
An annotated bibliography describing and recommending Barfield’s major works.
Rateliff, John D. “She and Tolkien.” Mythlore 8.2 (#28) (1981): 6–8.
Notes that Tolkien only admitted one post-medieval source as an influence—Haggard’s She series—and traces borrowings
and influences of the series on Tolkien, particularly parallels between the characters of Ayesha and Galadriel and between
the cities of Kor and Gondolin.
Rauscher, Eric. “From Dubric to Taliessen: Charles Williams’s Early Work on the Arthurian Cycle.” Mythlore 23.1 (#87) (2000):
20–29.
Explores the transformation of Dubric into Taliessen, focusing on how Dubric gradually recedes in importance in Williams’s
thinking about the Arthur story and is finally transformed into Taliessen.
Rawls, Melanie. “Arwen, Shadow Bride.” Mythlore 12.1 (#43) (1985): 24–25, 37.
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.
Rawls, Melanie. “The Feminine Principle in Tolkien.” Mythlore 10.4 (#38) (1984): 5–13. Also in Perilous and Fair: Women in the
Works and Life of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A. Donovan. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 99–117.
Explores the interaction of Masculine and Feminine principles (gender as opposed to sex) in Tolkien’s Middle-earth, showing
how the balance of the principles in a character is an important factor in his or her place in the struggle of good and evil, evil
resulting in many cases from an imbalance of these principles.
Rawls, Melanie. “Herland and Out of the Silent Planet: A Comparison of a Feminist Utopia and a Male-charactered Fantasy.”
Mythlore 13.2 (#48) (1986): 51–54.
Compares both the structure and themes of Herland and Out of the Silent Planet and finds many similarities in the utopian
cultures represented.
Rawls, Melanie. “The Rings of Power.” Mythlore 11.2 (#40) (1984): 29–32.
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.”

Rawls, Melanie A. “The Verse of J.R.R. Tolkien.” Mythlore 19.1 (#71) (1993): 4–8.
Largely negative criticism of Tolkien as a poet, particularly his early work in Book of Lost Tales and Lays of Beleriand. Notes,
however, that “much of the verse embedded in his prose does indeed fit the purpose for which he intended it.”
Rawls, Melanie A. “Witches, Wives and Dragons: The Evolution of the Women in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea—An
Overview.” Mythlore 26.3/4 (#101/102) (2008): 129–49.
A survey of the evolution of women in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea series, examining how the author reassessed her
depiction of gender in the earlier books and deliberately changed her viewpoint in the later books.
Rawson, Ellen. “The Fisher King in That Hideous Strength.” Mythlore 9.4 (#34) (1983): 30–32.
Notes how Ransom’s persona in That Hideous Strength as a modern Fisher King “contributes to Lewis’s idea of Logres versus
Britain.” Notes parallels between the legend of the Fisher King and events of That Hideous Strength.
Read, Marc. See Coombs, Jenny.
Reckford, Kenneth J. “‘There and Back Again’—Odysseus and Bilbo Baggins.” Mythlore 14.3 (#53) (1988): 5–9.
Sees parallels between incidents in The Odyssey and The Hobbit. Bilbo and Odysseus also share similar development as heroes
during their respective journeys.
Reeder, H.L., IV. “Storming the Gates of Barad-dûr: J.R.R. Tolkien, Christian Resistance, and the Imagination.” Past
Watchful Dragons: Fantasy and Faith in the World of C.S. Lewis. Ed. Amy H. Sturgis. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2007.
171–82.
Argues that Tolkien’s “Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics” and The Silmarillion both present lessons to Christian
intellectuals who wish to cultivate a literary ideology of resistance.
Reid, Robin Anne. “The History of Scholarship on Female Characters in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Legendarium: A Feminist
Bibliographic Essay.” Perilous and Fair: Women in the Works and Life of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie
A. Donovan. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 13–40.
Reid’s extensive annotated bibliographic essay establishes a long-needed critical context for the study of women in Tolkien’s
life and works. Reid documents an increase in both the volume of these studies and the variety of critical approaches taken.
Reilly, John R. “The Torture Tutorial: Finding Out the Awful Truth in That Hideous Strength and 1984.” Mythlore 21.4 (#82)
(1997): 39–41.
Contends That Hideous Strength and 1984 have the same theme, “that an objective view of morality is necessary for worthy
human life.” Notes “similarities between the didactic devices which the authors employ,” such as Belbury/Oceania and
Studdock/Winston, especially in their torture/ indoctrination. The biggest difference is in the resolution of both novels.
Reinken, Donald L. “The Lord of the Rings: A Christian Refounding of the Political Order.” Tolkien Journal 2.3 (#5) (1966): 4–10.
Examines the “severely classical moral doctrine” of The Lord of the Rings; discusses the theme of stewardship as “the proper
subordination of Power to Care”; and approves of Tolkien’s “veiling of the Divine” by keeping overt religious references out
of the work as a means of leading readers to understanding and affirmation. Reprinted from Christian Perspectives, Winter
1966.
Reis, R.H. “George MacDonald: Founder of the Feast.” Tolkien Journal 2.1 (#3) (1966): 3–5.
Claims that modern fantasy is a continuous development dating from MacDonald’s Phantastes. Traces his influence on the
Inklings, particularly on Lewis.
Reiter, Geoffrey. “‘Two Sides of the Same Magic’: The Dialectic of Mortality and Immortality in Peter S. Beagle’s The Last
Unicorn.” Mythlore 27.3/4 (#105/106) (2009): 103–16.
Looks at the subtle balance of mortality and immortality in this story and how Beagle resolves their opposition though what
his characters learn (or don’t learn) from experiencing both states of being. Considers not just the novel but the sequel short
story “Two Hearts” and Beagle’s script for the movie of The Last Unicorn.

Close examination of the three versions of the Walking Song in The Lord of the Rings that shows how it captures the themes
of the book in miniature. The metaphors “encapsulate the same view of history and man’s role in it that he conveys through
the larger metaphor of the trilogy itself.”

a variety of English and continental literature up through the twentieth century, and showing how various authors, including
Tolkien, interpreted and adapted the wizard for their purposes.
Riga, Frank P. “Rethinking Shylock’s Tragedy: Radford’s Critique of Anti-Semitism in The Merchant of Venice.” Mythlore
28.3/4 (#109/110) (2010): 107–27.
Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice is not usually thought of as one of his more mythically resonant plays (aside from the
Belmont casket scene), yet it is ultimately based on prevailing contemporary Christian myths about Jews and the way these
myths defined Christians’ beliefs about themselves. This paper examines film director Michael Radford’s masterful use of
myths and symbolism in his production of this play. Includes a reproduction of a painting which Radford duplicates in the
final scene of the film, resolving the multiple themes of the play.
Riga, Frank P. “‘Where is That Worthless Dreamer?’ Bottom’s Fantastic Redemption in Hoffman’s A Midsummer Night’s

A study of Michael Hoffmann’s reinterpretation of Bottom in his 1999 film of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which treats
Bottom and his interactions with Faërie seriously rather than farcically and resonates throughout the film in a shifting of
focus from the aristocratic court to the dignity of the common man and his worthiness to enter Faërie.

(1995): 46–51.
Sees MacDonald’s writing as a dialectic about “the conflict between what is and what seems to be.” Shows how the patterns
and characters of his novels reflect his theology, especially as shown in The Golden Key.
Roberts, Teresa Noelle. “The Unicorn: Creature of Love.” Mythlore 8.4 (#30) (1982): 39–41.
Reviews the symbolism of the unicorn in mythology, literature, and as portrayed in tapestry, including Christianity.

use of it in the poem “Imram.”
Rogers, Deborah Webster. “Misery loves … A Root of Villainy.” Mythlore 14.2 (#52) (1987): 23–25, 40.
Sees a common motive in three villains of fiction: Gollum, Captain Hook, and Salieri. Each believes that he lacks something
“and devotes himself to making it good at the expense of a protagonist who has what the villain wants.”
Rose, Ellen Cronan. “A Briefing for Briefing: Charles Williams’ Descent Into Hell and Doris Lessing’s Briefing For a Descent
into Hell.” Mythlore 4.1 (#13) (1976): 10–13.
Asserts that “Doris Lessing’s naming of her book and its protagonist was both intentional and ironic, and that it
acknowledges her indebtedness to the form of Williams’ fiction and her [...] futile gesture toward the Romantic amalgam of
appearance and reality.”
Rosegrant, John. “A Comment on ‘1904: Tolkien, Trauma, and its Anniversaries’ [Letter].” Mythlore 34.2 (#128) (2016): 167–70.
A letter responding to Nancy Bunting’s provocative article on Tolkien’s traumatic family history in Mythlore #127.
Rosegrant, John. “Tolkien’s Dialogue Between Enchantment and Loss.” Mythlore 33.2 (#126) (2015): 127–38.
Examines the tension between the theme of loss underlying so much of the content of The Lord of the Rings, and the
enchantment of the form of the work; the balance between the two generates a melancholy beauty that brings readers back
to the book over and over again. Tolkien’s own biography is used as an example of this balance of loss and enchantment
playing out in real life.
Rosenberg, Jerome. “The Humanity of Sam Gamgee.” Mythlore 5.1 (#17) (1978): 10–11.
A brief analysis of Sam’s character and its realistic, human qualities. Argues that he provides the necessary “key to a
commonplace reality which allows the reader to relate to the otherwise alien environment [...] and to identify with it.”

GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 49–53.
Discusses various species in the Space Trilogy considered to be “hnau,” or rational beings: the eldila, sorns, hrossa, and
pfifltriggi. Compares this treatment of rationality and self-awareness with the Talking Beasts of Narnia in The Magician’s
Nephew and The Last Battle. Concludes that Lewis’s purpose is to show Man’s interconnectedness with, and responsibility
for, the rest of creation.
Rovang, Paul R. “A Spenserian in Space: The Faerie Queene in C.S. Lewis’s Perelandra.” Mythlore 33.1 (#125) (2014): 37–52.
Explores the influence of The Faerie Queene, one of the works C.S. Lewis was particularly involved with as a scholar, and the
literary and Biblical traditions it drew upon, on Lewis’s Ransom trilogy and in particular on Perelandra. Ransom is identified
with the Red Cross Knight.
Rovang, Paul R. “A Spenserian Returns to Earth: The Faerie Queene in C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength.” Mythlore 34.2
(#128) (2016): 5–31.
Continues to explore Spenserian parallels in the Space Trilogy, following his work on Perelandra in Mythlore #123. Traces The
Faerie Queene’s clear influence on That Hideous Strength, particularly on the characters and relationship of Mark and Jane
Studdock, drawing a line connecting Spenser’s intent that his poem should “fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous
and gentle discipline” to Lewis’s point in The Abolition of Man that modern education produces “men without chests.”
Spenser’s Amoret and Scudamour particularly parallel Mark and Jane, and Busirane’s castle as a source for Belbury.
Ruskin, Laura A. “Three Good Mothers: Galadriel, Psyche, and Sybil Coningsby.” Mythcon I, Harvey Mudd College,
Claremont, CA, 1970. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 12–14.

Lewis’s Psyche, and Williams’s Sybil.
Ruskin, Laura A. “What is Narnia?” Narnia Conference, Palms Park, West Los Angeles, 1969. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los
Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1970. 4–7.
Compares the geography of Middle-earth, Narnia, and Oz, their inhabitants’ contrasting isolationist or exploratory attitudes,
and the accessibility of these worlds to outsiders. Concludes by listing several factors that make Narnia unique among
fantasy worlds, including the passage of time, the importance of humans from our own world in its history and prophecy,
and the centrality of Aslan in all his implications.
Russell, Mariann. “Elements of the Idea of the City in Charles Williams’ Arthurian Poetry.” Mythlore 6.4 (#22) (1979): 10–18.
Sees Williams’s Arthurian poems as a dialectic with a pattern of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, the last related to the idea
of coinherence. Examines Williams’s characteristic image of the City as it appears in the Arthurian poems.
Russell, Mariann. “‘The Northern Literature’ and the Ring Trilogy.” Mythlore 5.2 (#18) (1978): 41–42.
Examines “the northern spirit” in Tolkien’s fiction, the tension between the spirit of “uttermost endurance in the service of
indomitable will” and the prideful desire for reputation.
Ruud, Jay. “Aslan’s Sacrifice and the Doctrine of Atonement in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Mythlore 23.2 (#88)
(2001): 15–22.
Recommends reading the scene of Aslan’s sacrifice as a typological narrative, as was common in medieval readings of
scripture and of writers like Dante.
Ruud, Jay. “The Voice of Saruman: Wizards and Rhetoric in The Two Towers.” Mythlore 28.3/4 (#109/110) (2010): 141–53.
Examines one aspect of Tolkien’s wizards—their skill in the art of rhetoric. Provides a useful exercise in recognizing
fallacious reasoning in persuasive speech by defining and demonstrating classical rhetorical methods employed by Saruman
and Gandalf.
Ryan, J.S. “By ‘Significant’ Compounding ‘We Pass Insensibly into the World of Epic.’” Mythlore 17.4 (#66) (1991): 45–49.

Hobbit, particularly the use of compound words or kennings.

Ryan, J.S. “The Mines of Mendip and of Moria.” Mythlore 17.1 (#63) (1990): 25–27, 64.
Considers J.W. Gough’s book on the Mendip Hills mines (beginning in the Roman period) as a source for Tolkien’s depiction
of Moria. Compares passages in Gould to descriptions of Moria, and suggests the Cornish miners as “loose historical
equivalents” of Tolkien’s dwarves. Maps.
Ryan, J.S. “Saruman, ‘Sharkey,’ and Suruman: Analogous Figures of Eastern Ingenuity and Cunning.” Mythlore 12.1 (#43)

Speculates about linguistic connotations of Saruman-Sharkey, especially Suruman (vassal of an ancient Assyrian king) and
various etymologies of “shark.”
Ryan, J.S. “Uncouth Innocence: Some Links Between Chrétien de Troyes, Wolfram von Eschenbach and J.R.R. Tolkien.”
Mythlore 11.2(#40) (1984): 8–13, 27.
Sees a subtle but pervasive similarity between von Eschenbach and Tolkien in “tone and central philosophies.” Sees “the
whole medieval treatment of the Percival/Parzival theme” as “a general source for the various aspects of the hobbit
character.” Also sees structural parallels between Chrétien de Troyes, von Eschenbach, and Lord of the Rings.

Sabo, Deborah. “Archaeology and the Sense of History in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth.” Mythlore 26.1/2 (#99/100) (2007): 91–

Looks at ruins and other archaeological sites in Middle-earth and their place in the cultural history of its various races, and
by reflection, the place of archaeology in our own cultural memories. Considers Lake-town, the Barrow-Downs, Weathertop,
and other locations to show differing attitudes toward and uses of the past.
Sadler, Glenn E. “At the Back of the North Wind: George MacDonald: A Centennial Appreciation.” Tolkien Journal 4.1 (#11)

Sammons, Martha. “Tolkien On Fantasy in Smith of Wootton Major.” Mythlore 12.1 (#43) (1985): 3–7, 37.
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.)
Sammons, Martha C. “Christian Doctrines ‘Transposed’ in C.S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces.” Mythlore 7.1 (#23) (1980): 31–35.
Presents “Biblical principles that underlie Till We Have Faces,” which Lewis has “transposed,” giving the reader “a new way
of looking at the Christian doctrines of the Fall, redemption and man’s relationship to God as a result of the Fall, and the
future glory and perfection of the believer.”
Sammons, Martha C. “‘Fictive Analogues’: The Fantasy Forms of the New Inklings.” Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College,
Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 299–320.
Reviews a number of contemporary works of science fiction and fantasy in the tradition of Lewis and Tolkien. Analyzes their
characteristics using definitions of SF and fantasy from both authors’ essays and letters, and finds that these are excellent
forms for conveying moral lessons. Each book is summarized and reviewed.

Discusses Romantic views of the sublime as they relate to Tolkien’s “On Fairy-stories.” Distinguishes the Gothic (“the
literature of fear”) from fairy-stories and most children’s fantasy (“the literature of joy”).
Sandner, David. “Mr. Bliss and Mr. Toad: Hazardous Driving in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Mr. Bliss and Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind

Speculates where in Middle-earth the various dwarves who arrived at Bilbo’s house at the beginning of The Hobbit actually
came from, and what they might have been doing prior to that meeting.
Saxton, Benjamin. “J.R.R. Tolkien, Sub-creation, and Theories of Authorship.” Mythlore 31.3/4 (#121/122) (2013): 47–59.
Tolkien is unfortunately underrated as a theorist in literary studies—in fact, alas, generally invisible to the mainstream. This
essay draws attention to his ideas about sub-creation and allegorical “dominion” of the reader, contrasting Tolkien’s stated
and implied theories with those of Roland Barthes, and elucidating Tolkien’s concern with “the delicate balance between
authors, authority, and interpretive freedom.” Saxton draws on “Leaf by Niggle,” The Silmarillion, and The Lord of the Rings
for examples of Tolkien’s theories in action.
Sayer, George. “Recollections of J.R.R. Tolkien.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 21–25.

Sayers, William. “C.S. Lewis and the Toponym Narnia.” Mythlore 22.2 (#84) (1998): 54–55, 58.
Argues a possible derivation of the name Narnia from Old and Middle Irish sources; concludes Lewis was not likely aware
of these Irish names, but Narnia was influenced by Lewis’s experience of Ireland.
Schakel, Peter. “Dance as Metaphor and Myth in Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams.” Mythlore 12.3 (#45) (1986): 4–8, 23.
Guest of Honor address at Mythcon 16. Notes the occurrence of images of dance, including the cosmic dance, and their
metaphorical usage. Concentrates on Lewis but includes examples from Tolkien and Williams. Previously appeared in

Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of reading the Chronicles in the order of date published or internal
chronological order, as they are often currently packaged; and what Lewis had to say about how they should be read.
Schakel, Peter J. “A Retelling within a Myth Retold: The Priest of Essur and Lewisian Mythopoetics.” Mythlore 9.4 (#34)
(1983): 10–12.
Asks why Lewis felt the myth of Cupid and Psyche needed to be retold. The story told by the Priest of Essur is a “middle
step” between the original myth and Lewis’s recasting of it, in which the incomplete pagan notion of sacrifice gives way to
the fullness of that theme in Christianity.
Schakel, Peter J. “That ‘Hideous Strength’ in Lewis and Orwell: A Comparison and Contrast.” Mythlore 13.4 (#50) (1987): 36–40.
Although both Orwell and Lewis warned against the evils of totalitarianism in their novels, they did it from different
theological and political perspectives. Both mythopoeic works recognize the danger in attempts to destroy myth. Previously
appeared in Mythcon XVI, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, 1985. Ed. Diana Pavlac. Altadena: Mythopoeic Society, 1985. 321–30.
Schmidt, Thomas. “Literary Dependence in the Fiction of C.S. Lewis: Two Case Studies.” Mythlore 35.1 (#129) (2016): 95-112.
Source-hunters on C.S. Lewis must deal with what James Como called his “alchemical imagination”—his tendency to act
like medieval writers who “were in the business not of inventing new material but of transforming existing material.”
Schmidt tabulates parallels in Lewis’s writing to two particular sources: David Lindsay’s A Voyage to Arcturus, which Lewis
acknowledged as a major influence, and V.A. Thisted’s Letters From Hell, which he claimed to his friend Arthur Greeves he
couldn’t get through and gave away after trying to read only once.
Schmiel, Mary Aileen. “In the Forge of Los: Tolkien and the Art of Creative Fantasy.” Mythlore 10.1 (#35) (1983): 17–22.

touching on creativity, fate, and the hero’s journey along the way. Relates the final stage of the hero-journey, bringing back

Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 70–96.
Identifies relationships between Tolkien’s novel and works such as H. Rider Haggard’s She—the adventure-romances
Tolkien enjoyed as a young reader that had a demonstrable effect on his own writing style and themes. Through close
comparisons of Galadriel and Ayesha, as well as genre differences and expectations, Schroeder corrects some central

Scull, Christina. “Open Minds, Closed Minds in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 151–56.
Studies prejudice and tolerance, from the insularity of the Hobbits of the Shire to the mistrust between the Elves and Dwarves
and the nationalistic outlook of Denethor. Shows how some characters grew and became more tolerant, and that Tolkien was
sensible enough to realize that only small steps can be taken at a time. Considers the unwillingness of some to believe in
anything not witnessed with their own senses, thus leading them to discard as legendary much of the wonder of Middle-earth.

Proposes an intriguing solution to the question of Tolkien and Lewis’s estrangement in 1949: that it was Tolkien’s objections
to anti-Catholic sentiments expressed in Lewis’s Letters to Malcolm and some beliefs deeply incompatible with Tolkien’s
Catholicism expressed in the depiction of Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia that initially estranged them.

Shaham, Inbar. “Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister: A Romantic Comedy Within HBO’s Game of Thrones.” Mythlore 33.2

“Romantic comedy” is not a genre whose conventions one would readily associate with the television series Game of Thrones,
but this article makes a case for the evolving relationship between Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister as an intrusion of
the “green world” of spring and summer into the bleak winter of the show. The unconventional ways in which both
characters perform their genders are part of the interest and challenge of this relationship.

Postulates a future where Tolkien and Jackson are just two among many sources making up the “Matter of Middle-earth.”
Is this just a dystopian vision, or is it a foretaste of the natural evolution of what has become a mythology for our time?

Sheley’s interest is in how Dunsany’s inside–out Orientalist tales demonstrate or challenge theories of colonialism, anti–
colonialism, and post–colonialism, delving into Dunsany’s history with W.B Yeats and comparing his tales to Salman
Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children.

Considers the philological issues raised by the four poems included in the Gawain manuscript, and how the theories,
eccentricities, and linguistics of the Gawain-poet were read and used by Tolkien in his translation with E.V. Gordon.
Shippey, Tom. “Tolkien as a Post-War Writer.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 84–93.
The Lord of the Rings, though unique in many ways, is only one of a series of fantasies published by English authors before,
during, and just after World War II, works united in their deep concern with the nature of evil and their authors’ belief that
politics had given them new understanding of this ancient concept. Sets Tolkien in this contemporary context and considers
what was unique in his understanding of the modern world.

Fruitfully explores the similarities between Pratchett’s theory of narrative causality and the gender theories of Butler and
Foucault; all deal with an urge to fit gender performance into an established story. Pratchett’s witches engage in a balancing
act between the gender expectations of their society and their own quests for agency and power.

Sinex, Margaret. “Wounded By War: Men’s Bodies in the Prose Tradition of The Children of Húrin.” Baptism of Fire: The
Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 38–59.
Tolkien’s engagement with the story of Túrin Turambar over decades shows an evolution in his treatment of the theme of
the “grievous fragility of the human body and psyche” (40). This is especially evident in the story of Flinding/Gwindor, who
in each successive retelling is increasingly damaged, as are other characters in this tale. Sinex supports her study with
examples of World War I shell-shock and physical disability documented by contemporary field doctors and others.
Skinner, Veronica L. “Guinevere’s Role in the Arthurian Poetry of Charles Williams.” Mythlore 4.3 (#15) (1977): 9–11.

CA, 1971. Ed. Glen GoodKnight. Los Angeles: Mythopoeic Society, 1971. 33–36.
After a brief précis of Eddison’s life, the author discusses the genre of The Worm Ouroboros, basing most of his arguments on
Frye’s Anatomy of Criticism. Following is an examination of the tale’s sources, most notably elements from the Norse sagas,
The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, and Orlando Furioso.
Slethaug, Gordon E. “No Exit: The Hero as Victim in Donaldson.” Mythlore 11.2 (#40) (1984): 22–27.
Study of Thomas Covenant as a transformation of the standard fantasy hero, who is not permitted (in Tolkien’s words) “the
Escape of the prisoner.” his fantasy world Covenant is victim and victimizer, whose eventual “acceptance of his own
weakness and evil” allows him to subdue Lord Foul.

Discusses difficulties in translating Lord of the Rings into German, in particular the complications arising from the second
person plural: singular/plural and familiar/ deferential forms. Notes the special challenges in translating dialogue in a
fantasy novel, such as conversations with animals and objects.
Smith, Arden R. See also Hostetter, Carl F., “A Mythology for England.”
Smith, Evans Lansing. “The Mythical Method of Descent Into Hell.” Mythlore 20.2 (#76) (1994): 10–15.
Considers Williams’s Descent Into Hell as an excellent “example of the use of the mythical method [as defined by T.S. Eliot]
as a metaphor of poesis, by which the fundamental forms of the imagination are catalyzed.” Geometrical symbolism and the
underworld journey link it to many modernist works.
Smith, Melissa. “At Home and Abroad: Éowyn’s Two-fold Figuring as War Bride in The Lord of the Rings.” Mythlore 26.1/2

the challenges facing war-brides throughout history. Considers her as the left-behind war bride in her interactions with
Aragorn, and as the war bride accompanying her husband to a new country with Faramir.

Smyth, J.E. “The Three Ages of Imperial Cinema from the Death of Gordon to the Return of the King.” Tolkien on Film:
Essays on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2004. 3–23.
Examines the place of Jackson’s trilogy in the history of film, and specifically in the genre of “Imperial Cinema.” Shows how
The Lord of the Rings is thematically related to two of the greatest films in this genre, the Korda brothers’ The Four Feathers
and David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia, but also can be read as an updated political response to the question of imperialism in
an age of terrorism, and are particularly interesting as a product of the filmmaking industry of the former British imperial
colonies of New Zealand and the United States.

Spivak, Charlotte. “Images of Spirit in the Fiction of Clive Staples Lewis.” Mythlore 14.2 (#52) (1987): 32–38.
Shows how Lewis, in his fiction, “explores the phenomenology of Spirit through his creation of several numinous figures
who reflect medieval paradigms.” These figures reflect both medieval allegorical meanings and Jungian archetypes.
St. Clair, Gloriana. “The Lord of the Rings as Saga.” Mythlore 6.2 (#20) (1979): 11–16.
Although other critics have described The Lord of the Rings as a fairy-story, epic, romance, or novel, the author believes saga
is the most “comprehensive and appropriate” genre in which to place it.
St. Clair, Gloriana. “An Overview of the Northern Influences on Tolkien’s Works.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 63–67.
Tolkien studied the Old Norse literature and mythology thoroughly. While knowing Northern literature does not provide a
key to unlock the meanings of his major works, his characters, creatures, implements, customs, incidents, and themes do
have antecedents in the Eddas and sagas. This paper assesses the extent and import of those antecedents.
St. Clair, Gloriana. “Tolkien as Reviser: A Case Study.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 145–50.
The publication of drafts of The Lord of the Rings allows 95ytholars to assess Tolkien as a reviser. A comparison of the early

Saga that Tolkien read and studied. Compares the heroes, women, dragons, plots, and tokens for their contributions to
understanding Tolkien’s relationship to his sources, and notes Tolkien’s craft in source-assimilation.

Steem, Cara-Joy. “Listening as Heroic Action in L’Engle’s A Swiftly Tilting Planet.” Mythlore 32.1 (#123) (2013): 33–51.
Examines the theme and spiritual functions of listening in the third Murry family novel, A Swiftly Tilting Planet: as
participation in an interconnected universe, as embracing humility, as a witness to cosmic community, and as a sacrificial
act. Connects these ideas to her larger theological and interpersonal themes.
Stenström, Anders. “A Mythology? For England?” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 310–14.

concludes not only did he not say precisely this, but he also used “mythology” in a different sense.
Stenström, Hanna. “Tegnér’s Saga.” Mythlore 15.3 (#57) (1989): 55–56, 60.

up with that concept.”
Stevenson, Shandi. “Beyond the Circles of this World: The Great War, Time, History, and Eternity in the Fantasy of J. R. R.
Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.” Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I. Ed. Janet Brennan
Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 110–30.
Compares the reactions of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien to the war. Both authors, as scholars of literature and history and
as Christians, took a long view of history that set them apart from other writers of the inter-war era. Nostalgia and a sense
of loss are evident in the ways they related “morality to time, meaning to history, and hope to eternity” (109). Stevenson
contrasts their approaches to those of the modernists, for whom the war meant an overturning of all certainties; with these
fantasists, loss was transformed to a sense of hope.

Examines the evidence in Tolkien’s writings to construct a history of the Shire as a social and political entity. Considers this
another example of Tolkien’s ability to imbue his Secondary World with a feeling of reality.

Mythlore 16.1 (#59) (1989): 5–8.
Notes that a central concept of Anglo-Saxon culture is the lord as ring-giver. Sauron, as Lord of the Rings, is a perversion of
this concept. Other elements of Lord of the Rings reflect the Anglo-Saxon ethos as well.

Talbot, Norman. “Where do Elves go to? Tolkien and a Fantasy Tradition.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 94–106.
The departure of the Elves from Middle-earth haunted Tolkien’s imagination, but has also fascinated many other writers
before and since. After Kipling and Tolkien, the twin pivots in recent literary ideas about Elves, the destiny of the Elves is
being treated in more and more diverse ways. But Hy Braseal is so hard to imagine, given the Americas in this century; how
can the people of the starlight still “go west”? Most go “in” instead, into humanity or into places (and computer programs)
with that special Elf-friendly charge.

Women.” Perilous and Fair: Women in the Works and Life of J.R.R. Tolkien. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft and Leslie A.

Challenges us to look more closely at the disguises of women in The Lord of the Rings and Twelfth Night to discover alternative
styles of power and gender. Thum urges readers to comprehend that both Tolkien and Shakespeare adapt traditional
stereotypes of women in similar ways to advance gender roles beyond those normally limited by their societies.

as vices, or habitual patterns, based on the work of Thomas Aquinas, and shows how Tolkien used them to give depth and
motivation to characters in Middle-earth.
Treloar, John L., S.J. “Tolkien and Christian Concepts of Evil: Apocalypse and Privation.” Mythlore 15.2 (#56) (1988): 57–60.

Considers Sayers as the Inkling-related author who best articulates the theme of man as sub-creator. Finds this theme

essay. Examines how these initially pagan notions were subsumed into the Christian idea of divine providence, and most
notably blended together in the Old English Beowulf and Old Saxon Heliand, to provide a basis for understanding how even
the Valar are subject to time and the fate decreed by Ilúvatar.

Revisits the misgivings shared by Lewis and Tolkien about cinematic adaptations of literature. They were not trained to

Wytenbroek, J.R. “Cetacean Consciousness in Katz’s Whalesinger and L’Engle’s A Ring of Endless Light.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80)
(1996): 435–38.
Both Canadian fantasist Welwyn Wilton Katz and American fantasist Madeleine L’Engle have written novels in which
humans, in communicating with whales or dolphins, have been exposed to wholeness, harmony, unity, and pattern in the
universe at large as perceived by cetaceans. While writing quite independently, these works show a remarkable similarity
in their perception of cetacean consciousness and a united mystical vision in authors of different backgrounds.
Wytenbroek, J.R. “Natural Mysticism in Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 431–34.
Explores the use of Pan as the medium for an intense mystical experience in the chapter “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,”
and how this mystical and rarely-discussed passage fits in with the rest of The Wind in the Willows. Also explores possible
influences on Grahame from writers of the nineteenth century who had mystical emphases in their books.

J.R.R. Tolkien.” Mythlore 21.2 (#80) (1996): 375–92.
Considers the fiction of Tolkien and the other Inklings (specifically Lewis and Williams) as influenced by a set of shared
ideas. First, the concept of a creator and of individuals as sub-creators; the Medieval four-fold division of the world; and the
tripartite nature of creation, whether by God or humans. Analyzes the narrative structure of The Lord of the Rings in light of
these ideas. Concepts detailed in several charts and graphics.
Yandell, Steven. “The Trans-cosmic Journeys in The Chronicles of Narnia.” Mythlore 12.1 (#43) (1985): 9–23.

Young, Joe. “Aphrodite on the Home Front: E.R. Eddison and World War II.” Mythlore 30.3/4 (#117/118) (2012): 71–88.
The centrality of service to the goddess of love in E.R. Eddison’s conceptions of heroism and the properly lived life is the
focus of this study of the Zimiamvia trilogy. Eddison considered his work an important response to World War II and a call
for a more meaningful type of courage and way of living both during and after the war.
Young, Joseph. “Artemis at Ragnarok: E.R. Eddison’s Queen Antiope.” Mythlore 32.2 (#124) (Spring/Summer 2014): 81–95.
Building on his paper in Mythlore #117/118, calls for a change in critical attitudes towards E.R. Eddison, revealing a deep
philosophical and spiritual foundation at the base of the lush, glittering surface of the Zimiamvia trilogy. A careful
unraveling of mythological references and evidence from previously unpublished Eddison letters at the Bodleian back up
his conclusion.

I. Ed. Janet Brennan Croft. Altadena: Mythopoeic Press, 2015. 279–98.
Offers an interpretation of Eddison’s philosophy as it developed in his World War II era Zimiamvia trilogy. Eddison’s more
fully developed personal religio-philosophic complex in this work is a direct development of his earlier literary concerns.

Society, 1974. 33–36.
Meditation on archetypes and fantasy rather than a scholarly paper, this piece considers messages about the human longing
for the fantastic embodied in Anderson’s novel, and the dangers of allowing archetypes to be taken as more than the illusions
they actually are. Reproduces several lengthy passages from the novel, in particular the ballad of the ranger Arvid.
Zimmer, Paul Edwin. “Another Opinion of ‘The Verse of J.R.R. Tolkien.’” Mythlore 19.2 (#72) (1993): 16–23.

writing. These reviews “offer interesting insights into a mind in which Middle-earth had already begun to take shape.”
