In your opinion, how well does SoWM function as an allegory? <br /> * In a rather obscure quote, which appears in a Tolkien obituary, Robert Murray suggested that after Tolkien handed him a copy of Smith of Wootton Major, Tolkien said, &quot;Here is a little counterblast to [C. S.] Lewis which I've written&quot; (The Tablet 879). What do you think he meant by this?<br /> <br /> ==Nils Ivar Agøy==<br /> * Were there any special challenges in translating ''The Children of Húrin'' into Norwegian?<br /> * How do you see ''The Children of Húrin'' affecting public perception of Tolkien's work in Norway?<br /> * You also translated ''The Silmarillion''; are there any large differences in translating the part of Túrin Turambar and now ''The Children of Húrin''?<br /> * Since you have been so closely involved, working with the English text, did you find major changes of style, content, etc with the already published parts?<br /> * Do you now have the feeling the story is indeed 'finished'?<br /> * How long did it take to translate ''The Silmarillion'' and now ''The Children of Húrin''?<br /> * You have translated the Unfinished Tales as well, since most of the new Tolkien book comes from Unfinished Tales you have a good view of the new choice Christopher Tolkien took for the new book. Can you tell us a bit more about this?<br /> * Is the new Tolkien book a big improvement compared to Unfished Tales?<br /> <br /> ==James Dunning==<br /> * Have both enjoyed your art and your articles, what is your prefered medium?<br /> * We saw your illustrations in ''A Tolkienian Mathomium'' by Mark Hooker, how did you get into contact?<br /> * Do you plan to illustrate more Tolkien related books in the future?<br /> * Will you write more articles on Tolkien as well? (please do so!)<br /> * In addition to Tolkien illustrations what other kinds of art do you create?<br /> * How do you work to illustrate a scene from Tolkien's books?<br /> * Can you tell us a bit about yourself... what do you do for a living?<br /> * In your article &quot;Wizardry, Witchcraft and the Bloodthirsty World of Faerie,&quot; in the Match 2007 issue of ''Beyond Bree'', you talk about the layers on meaning in the word 'wizard.' In the definitions you cite for 'wizard,' the first one (the one with the positive connotation) contains the words 'wisdom' and 'knowledge,' but the second (the one with the negative connotation) only contains the word 'kowledge.' Do you think that Tolkien was aware of this division?<br /> <br /> ==John Garth==<br /> * What challenges and other interesting moments did you have researching Tolkien's wartime experiences?<br /> * How long did it take to write Tolkien and the Great War?<br /> * Did you find out more informations since the publication of your book since the publication?<br /> * Have you learned new things about Tolkien during the process of writing the book?<br /> * How come you choise to write about the war... is it one of your fascinations?<br /> * Can you clarify some more about Tolkien and horses. I never heard about Tolkien being any good with horses.<br /> <br /> ==Diana Glyer==<br /> * To what extent did Tolkien and Lewis help shape each other's invented universes?<br /> * How long did you work on the Company they Keep?<br /> * How do you compare your book to the Inklings by Carpenter?<br /> * Will you be doing lectures in the future on the Inklings, and if so will you also come to Europe?<br /> * Where started your interest in the Inklings?<br /> * We know you combine family life with work and writing, how can you manage to combine it all?<br /> <br /> ==Turbine==<br /> * What has been harder, pleasing the Tolkien fans or pleasing the gamers?<br /> * Were you a Tolkien fan prior to creating the game?<br /> * What would you say is the most innovative/unique aspect about LotRO?<br /> * What was the most difficult task you faced and overcame?<br /> <br /> ==Michael Martinez==<br /> * Do you have any plans to write more Tolkien-related essays?<br /> <br /> ==Marcel Bülles==</div>

Hooker==<br /> * In your interview with the website Tolkien Library (http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/mark-hooker-interview.htm), in answer to the question &quot;why has Tolkien been so unpopular with the critics?&quot; you said that Tolkien &quot;wrote for an audience of one: himself,&quot; while we know that Tolkien shared his work in draft with the members of the Inklings.

In your opinion, how well does SoWM function as an allegory? <br /> * In a rather obscure quote, which appears in a Tolkien obituary, Robert Murray suggested that after Tolkien handed him a copy of Smith of Wootton Major, Tolkien said, &quot;Here is a little counterblast to [C. S.] Lewis which I've written&quot; (The Tablet 879).

Tolkien’s works such as [[The Hobbit]], [[The Lord of the Rings]], and [[The Silmarillion]] — including Tolkien’s private letters and revealing opinions of his own work. Richard L.

A careful reader will find a subtle religious dimension to Tolkien’s work—all the more potent because it is below the surface.

For example, Purtill shows us how hobbits reflect both the pettiness of parochial humanity and unexpected heroism.<br /> <br /> Purtill, author of 19 books, effectively addresses larger issues of the place of myth, the relation of religion and morality to literature, the relation of Tolkien’s work to traditional mythology, and the lessons Tolkien’s work teaches for our own lives. <br /> <br /> ISBN 0-89870-948-2 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Format: Softcover, 223pp &lt;br&gt;<br /> Pub.
