I really enjoyed this post! (that LOTR Office edit took me out 😂). I always appreciate when people take the time to gather up good things and share them in one place. And thank you again for sharing about my publication, that means a lot! I think this read-through is going to be our best one yet 🧙♂️
Glad to hear it, Breanne! Yeah, that LOTR Office one is gold haha. I enjoy doing these roundups monthly, as it seems about the right frequency for me to find enough Tolkien-related stuff to pass along all at once. And you're welcome! I'm looking forward to it myself and am glad to have some more Tolkien-focused company here on Substack. Want to do my part to spread the word!
Thanks! Love the content on allegory. I am reading Tolkien's "On Fairy Stories" now and also pondering how different genres, especially biblical ones, shape us in different ways.
Glad to hear it! I love "On Fairy Stories." Sounds like it has you doing some good follow-up thinking. I'd love to hear any takeaways or top insights you might have either now or in the future!
You're welcome, Grace! I enjoyed your exploration of allegory and felt it was a great follow-up to my overview of Tolkien's perspective so I definitely wanted to pass it on to my readers

Great essay, one I keep referring to in my own writing.
