 rticles and essays
- Völsunga Saga As An Inspiration For J.R.R. Tolkien - Renata Leniakiewicz-Drzymała
The text tries to trace possible Tolkiens references to themes known from the medieval saga. The Author analyses great works of the legendarium and the shorter Farmer Giles of Ham, not belonging to the Middle-earth reality.
- Chronology of Middle-earth. Second Age. Part II - Michał Leniewski 'M.L.'
The Author concludes his chronology, starting in 1732 and ending with the fall of Sauron; of necessity, on account of the available material, the chronology is focused on the history of Númenor.
- A Few Words On The Women In Tolkiens Works - Karolina Stopa-Olszańska 'Melinir'
This is a text on female characters and various ways of their presentation in The Lord of the Rings and other works of Tolkien.
- Éowyn: The Misunderstood Princess of Rohan - Justyna Brzezińska
The aim of the article is to present, by an analysis of the relations of the princess with the others, the character of Éowyn, showing her as a complex female character, the supposed lack of whom in The Lord of the Rings is stressed by the fans and the critics. The Author seeks to prove that Éowyn is unjustly underestimated and her character and deeds are misinterpreted.
- Dwarvish Funeral Rites - Magdalena Kudelska 'Geirve'
This is an attempt to reconstruct these rites through the ages; this important race has often been scorned by the readers and the article tries to show the character of the Dwarves as conceived by Tolkien.
- Demolishing The Tower Built in Beleriand. Arda Reconstructed, i.e. Some Remarks on D.C. Kanes Book, Tolkienologists, And Christopher Tolkiens Editing Michał Leniewski 'M.L.'
This extensive review focuses on the criticism directed at the book and polemicizes with the critics theses, showing how little they concern the book itself. The author does not defend the book, although he considers it an important event in Tolkien studies.
