Good stuff, if you are starting your search here,
This review is from: MYTHOLOGY OF MIDDLE EARTH (Hardcover)
This book is a good start for those interested in the basics of Tolkien's mythological influences. It is simply written and easy to understand for the average reader. However, for those who are looking for a more in-depth analysis of Tolkien's use of myth and relation to the more obscure texts the Professor worked with, this very well might be a rehashing of already known material. Some attention is, appropriately, given to the universality if certain mythic themes, characters, and occurences.

Mythology of Middle-Earth,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mythology of Middle-Earth. (Hardcover)
I found this shallow and brief in its analysis and written in an annoyingly choppy style. It didn't appear to have been produced by a serious scholar of folklore/mythology.There have got to be better studies out there. |
