Here an Orc, There an Ork (original) (raw)

1969, Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

AI-generated Abstract

The paper investigates the concept of "mythopoesis" as exemplified by three authors: J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams. Each writer presents a unique approach to mythology, with Tolkien creating a self-sufficient myth, Lewis emulating a primary myth while constructing a secondary one, and Williams blending primary myths into new forms. The discussion explores the implications of these different mythological frameworks, particularly in how they relate to themes of science, white magic, and emotional communion within the fantasy genre.
