  • A Secret Vice: the Desire to Understand J.R.R
    Mythmoot III: Ever On Proceedings of the 3rd Mythgard Institute Mythmoot BWI Marriott, Linthicum, Maryland January 10-11, 2015 A Secret Vice: The Desire to Understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s Quenya Or, Out of the Frying-Pan Into the Fire: Creating a Realistic Language as a Basis for Fiction Cheryl Cardoza In a letter to his son Christopher in February of 1958, Tolkien said “No one believes me when I say that my long book is an attempt to create a world in which a form of language agreeable to my personal aesthetic might seem real” (Letters 264). He added that The Lord of the Rings “was an effort to create a situation in which a common greeting would be elen síla lúmenn’ omentielmo,1 and that the phrase long antedated the book” (Letters 264-5). Tolkien often felt guilty about this, his most secret vice. Even as early as 1916, he confessed as much in a letter to Edith Bratt: “I have done some touches to my nonsense fairy language—to its improvement. I often long to work at it and don’t let myself ‘cause though I love it so, it does seem a mad hobby” (Letters 8). It wasn’t until his fans encouraged him, that Tolkien started to 1 Later, Tolkien decided that Frodo’s utterance of this phrase was in error as he had used the exclusive form of we in the word “omentielmo,” but should have used the inclusive form to include Gildor and his companions, “omentielvo.” The second edition of Fellowship reflected this correction despite some musings on leaving it to signify Frodo being treated kindly after making a grammatical error in Quenya (PE 17: 130-131).

  • Tolkien's Women: the Medieval Modern in the Lord of the Rings
    Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings Jon Michael Darga Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings by Jon Michael Darga A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2014 © 2014 Jon Michael Darga For my cohort, for the support and for the laughter Acknowledgements My thanks go, first and foremost, to my advisor Andrea Zemgulys. She took a risk agreeing to work with a student she had never met on a book she had no academic experience in, and in doing so she gave me the opportunity of my undergraduate career. Andrea knew exactly when to provide her input and when it was best to prod and encourage me and then step out of the way; yet she was always there if I needed her, and every book that she recommended opened up a significant new argument that changed my thesis for the better. The independence and guidance she gave me has resulted in a project I am so, so proud of, and so grateful to her for. I feel so lucky to have had an advisor who could make me laugh while telling me how badly my thesis needed work, who didn’t judge me when I came to her sleep-deprived or couldn’t express myself, and who shared my passion through her willingness to join and guide me on this ride. Her constant encouragement kept me going. I also owe a distinct debt of gratitude to Gillian White, who led my cohort during the fall semester.

From Elvish to Klingon: Exploring Invented Languages is a welcome addition to the small but growing corpus of works on the subject of invented languages. The collection of essays was edited by Michael Adams, Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of English at Indiana University Bloomington and Vice-President of the Dictionary Society of North America. Not only does Adams serve as editor, he also writes complementary appendices to accompany each of the contributed essays to expand on a particular aspect or to introduce related material. Adams’ previous works include Slang: The People’s Poetry (Oxford University Press, 2009) and Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon (Oxford University Press, 2003). Although Oxford University Press is known for its scholarly publications, the title From Elvish to Klingon would suggest that the book is geared toward a popular audience.

  • Myth, Fantasy and Fairy-Story in Tolkien's Middle-Earth Buveneswary
    MYTH, FANTASY AND FAIRY-STORY IN TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE-EARTH Malaya BUVENESWARY VATHEMURTHYof DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH FACULTY OF ARTS & SOCIAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY MALAYA University2016 MYTH, FANTASY AND FAIRY-STORY IN TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE-EARTH BUVENESWARY VATHEMURTHYMalaya of DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ARTS FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR University2016 Abstract This dissertation explores J.R.R. Tolkien’s ideas and beliefs on myth, fantasy and fairy story and their roles in portraying good and evil in his famous works. Indeed, many authors and critics such as Bradley J. Birzer, Patrick Curry, Joseph Pearce, Ursula Le Guin, and Jay Richards have researched Tolkien based on this connection. They have worked on the nature of good and evil in his stories, the relevance of Tolkien in contemporary society, and the importance of myth and fantasy. However, my original contribution would be to examine the pivotal roles of myth, fantasy and fairy story as a combined whole and to demonstrate that they depend on one another to convey truths about good and evil. This research is aimed at showing that Middle-earth evolves from a combination of these three genres. This is made evident by the way Tolkien crafted his lecture On Fairy Stories for a presentation at the AndrewMalaya Lang lecture at the University of St Andrews in 1939. This dissertation then examines Tolkien’s own definitions of myth, fantasy and fairy stories and his extensiveof research on these “old-fashioned” or forgotten genres. He believed they could provide a cure for the moral and human degradation triggered by modernism.

Tolkien’s shorter works, usually accompanied by Tolkien’s notes, drafts, and/or associated writings, as well as a critical introduction and commentary. Many of these—from Smith of Wootton Major in 2005 to last year’s The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun—have dealt with Tolkien’s fiction, but his academic works have not been wholly neglected.

  • Tom Bombadil
    JMR@KaZaA 1 THE ADVENTURES OF TOM BOMBADIL Old Tom Bombadil was a merry felow; bright blue his jacket was and his bloots were yellow, green were his girdle and his breeches all of leather; he wore in his tall hat a swan-wing feather. He lived up under Hill, where the Withywindle ran from a grassy well down into the dingle. Old Tom in summertime walked about the meadows gathering the buttercups, running after shadows, tickling the bumblebees that buzzed among the flowers, sitting by the waterside for hours upon hours. There his beard dangled long down into the water: up came Goldberry, the River-woman's daughter; pulled Tom's hanging hair. In he went a-wallowing under the water-lilies, bubbling and a-swallowing. 'Hey, Tom Bombadil! Whither are you going?' said fair Goldberry. 'Bubbles you are blowing, frightening the finny fish and the brown water- rat, startling the dabchicks, and drowning your feather-hat!' 'You bring it back again, there's a pretty maiden!' said Tom Bombadil. 'I do not care for wading. Go down! Sleep again where the pools are shady far below willow-roots, little water-lady!' Back to her mother's house in the deepest hollow swam young Goldberry. But Tom, he would not follow; on knotted willow-roots he sat in sunny weather, drying his yellow boots and his draggled feather. Up woke Willow-man, began upon his singing, sang Tom fast asleep under branches swinging; in a crack caught him tight: snick! it closed together, trapped Tom Bombadil, coat and hat and feather.

  • CTS Termcard: Easter 2014
    CTS Termcard: Easter 2014 For the Enemy is upon us… I’ve already said thanks to various people, but I’ll say them here again: last term was an excellent success, with a well-attended AGM (and a contested election!), a well-organised annual dinner, and Minas Tirith’s third Varsity Quiz win on the trot. Jamie, Mark, and my fellow quiz team members deserve particular thanks, so here they are! It is, alas, now exam term once more, and the dread hand of the Proctors reaches out to us all… yet, people of the City, hope is not lost. For, standing alone in the mist, the White Tower will keep having meetings as a bastion of safety in an ever-fearsome world. I’ve taken care to write this very much as an exam term timetable; you’ll note that more or less from week 5 through to 8 we’re pretty much just going for solid frivolities to keep the terror of exams away, whereas the discussions have coalesced earlier in the term. April 23: Of Ships and Seafarers The seas of Middle-Earth are a vital theme running through Tolkien’s legendarium; the Elves are drawn to them, the Orcs repulsed from them, the humans fascinated by them. In this meeting expect discussion of Earendil’s voyage, Fastitocalon, the Numenorean, Gondorian, and Elven navies, and of course Umbar and its dreaded corsairs! (“You are without a doubt the worst Dark Lord I’ve ever heard of.” “Ah. But you have heard of me…”) Time: 19:15 Place: N1A, Pembroke College April 30: Discovery and Destruction In this discussion we’ll look at Tolkien the environmentalist; what does science mean in Tolkien’s world, and should we be as quick as Tolkien himself is to reject the mechanisation that Saruman and Sauron are associated with? Is there significance in the fact that the two most relevant of the Valar are literally an old married couple? Expect all this, plus trees.
