Hi All!
Thank you to everyone who checked out the first chapter! I posted the second here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/61...ters/160330999 It's about Éowyn and her character arc and how Anglo-Saxon culture influenced Tolkien's portrayal of Rohirric characters. Hope you like it! |

I've just now finished the first chapter. Really thoughtful work and considered analysis. I wouldn't call this a "fannish essay" at all.
I do, however, have one question. I don't see any named discussion of Tolkien's essay "Ofermod" which accompanies "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's . I don't have your edition so I cannot check the endnotes to see if you are referring to it in your discussion of Northern courage, but I wonder why you don't formally mention the essay.It is quite a significant essay since it opened to interpretation the meaning of "oftermod" in the 'Maldon' poem in Old English studies. I hope I'm not being pedantic!
