wellinghall	Mythlore	#1
Home away from home Joined: 2006/11/24 11:12 Group: Shirefolk Fellowship Posts: 540	Who here knows a lot about Mythlore? Or who I can talk to about it? More specifically, I want to: * find out how close these two are in terms of content: o "Christensen, Bonniejean. "Tolkien's Creative Technique: Beowulf and The Hobbit." Mythlore 15 (Spring 1989): 4-10. o Christensen, Bonniejean. "Beowulf and The Hobbit: Elegy into Fantasy in J. R. R. Tolkien's Creative Technique." Dissertation, University of Southern California, 1969. DAI 30 (1970): 4401-02A. * get a copy of the former (or, indeed, the latter!) Any advice, help etc will be much appreciated! Thanks - wellinghall Posted on: 2010/1/29 6:16

The back issue of Mythlore is available from the back issues website here: http://www.mythsoc.org/mythlore/history/ That particular issue is $3.50 plus shipping. If you need help ordering (don't like Paypal or whatnot) let me know and I can help out. Probably the same article appears in Orcrist #7 (1972-73). I don't have a copy of that issue of Orcrist right now, unfortunately. A citation refers to the Orcrist article as her dissertation "epitomized in" the Orcrist article, so it is probably rewritten for a wider audience. Sorry for the long link! (http://books.google.com/books?id=FCaM ... ve%20Technique%22&f=false) Tangentially related, I found the following paper online that refers to the one you are looking for (good further reading maybe): http://faculty.uca.edu/jona/second/hobbeow.htm Posted on: 2010/1/29 10:57

But if this person is looking for a copy, he needs to be warned that this issue is NOT #15 but part of VOLUME 15. The issue he's looking for would be somewhere around #56. I do have a copy of the dissertation, though in rather battered condition, and so could provide a copy of specific pages or passages if he can't find one for himself; I believe Marquette and probably Wheaton have copies as well. And since the dissertation was for a degree granted at the University of Southern California, there shd be a copy on file there as well. At least one important excerpt from this dissertation has been published as an essay: "Gollum's Character Transformation in The Hobbit", which lays out the changes between the first and second editions of the Gollum-scene in parallel columns. It appears in Lobdell's A TOLKIEN COMPASS (both the original 1975 edition and the truncated 2003 re-issue). --John R. I do see Marquette has it listed in their archives. I can dig into the USC more if that will help. I will check my Mythlore Index tonight as well to see what issue the article appears in. Posted on: 2010/1/29 12:36
