This was one of the first books to deal with Tolkien through the lens of Carl Jung achetypes and it remains one of the best. The author dmonstrates how Tolkien's deeply personal mythology of Middle-Earth parallels the concepts of archetypes & the Collective Unconscious posited by Jung. In fact, if you've seen images from Jung's fabled "Red Book" then you'll see how similar his tree imagery is to that of Tolkien's own illustrations of Middle-Earth; it appears that both are drawn from a shared archetypal image of Tree. The major archetypes are invoked here: Anima, Shadow, Self. In every case, the author never tries to force Tolkien's work into a pre-determined pigeonhole -- but he does make clear how well the Jungian model works as a means of better understanding the power of Tolkien's creation. It's this genuine mythic power that separates Tolkien from all his imitators, as he possessed not only a rich intellectual knowledge of myth, but a visceral, even spiritual knowledge of it. Middle-Earth is the full & flowering expression of an individual human being, not a flimsy & formulaic construct that mimics the surface without ever touching the substance. Whether your interest is primarily in Tolkien or in Jung, this is an excellent introduction to the wisdom of the work of each. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xv, 200 pages. Seller Inventory # 58406
