lmp started a lovely thread recently in Books for comparison/contrast with Phantastes.

Comparison/contrast is a well- established and often fun method of literary analysis. But there are others. Pick a literary method, pick a Tolkien story, and try it. The worst that can happen is you get redirected to an old thread that you can read and add to.

Fordie, I so wanted to rep you for that link to canonicity. You have a Terribly Evil streak. Go cackle at Movie-Gandalf and have it cast out, will you? And where are your Capitalized Nouns in your post? I don't see any. Canonicity and any serious references thereto must have Capitalized Nouns. Capitalize, I say, or I shall heave a Gauntlet at thee, thwack.
