    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.

  • Ents, Elves, and Eriador Culture of the Land a Series in the New Agrarianism
    Ents, Elves, and Eriador Culture of the Land A Series in the New Agrarianism is series is devoted to the exploration and articulation of a new agrarian- ism that considers the health of habitats and human communities together. It is intended to demonstrate how agrarian insights and responsibilities can be worked out in diverse fields of learning and living: history, science, art, politics, economics, literature, philosophy, religion, urban planning, edu- cation, and public policy. Agrarianism is a comprehensive worldview that appreciates the intimate and practical connections which exist between humans and the earth. It stands as our most promising alternative to the unsustainable and destructive ways of current global, industrial, and con- sumer culture.

  • Christianity in Lord of the Rings: Would Easter Fly on Middle Earth? 21 April 2011
    Christianity in Lord of the Rings: Would Easter fly on Middle Earth? 21 April 2011 University of Oxford. Even though Catholicism sincerely influenced his lifestyle, Tolkien stated that this series was written for his pleasure and not as an allegory. Yet, he also maintained that The Lord of the Rings was a fundamentally religious work. Kerry edited and co-authored a new book called The Ring and the Cross as a debate between scholars arguing whether the trilogy contains a Christian influence or is simply a pagan fantasy. Some Tolkien fans see what appear to be obvious links to Christianity. The idea that Frodo, a lowly, but hardy hobbit, must carry a powerful and deadly ring to save good from evil appears similar to Christ, who bore the cross to redeem the world. Yet Kerry warns that viewing Frodo as a direct representation of Christ is too simplistic. "We have to be careful, because Tolkien explicitly warned against reading his work allegorically," Kerry said. "You can't simply say, 'Oh, this equals BYU history professor Paul Kerry that.' More fruitful is to look for correspondence, themes and patterns." One approach for scholars siding on Christianity is (PhysOrg.com) -- Without a single chapel on to split the "Christ-type" between three characters Middle Earth, one might assume that religion has in the book: Frodo, Gandalf and Aragorn. Frodo is no place in The Lord of the Rings. the suffering Christ, who bears the burden of others.
