| Summary: | There are several dangers in presenting a collection of essays on Tolkien and religion. One, common to any collection of essays, is that of adherence to the declared central theme (made more difficult here by the fact that Tolkien, although his Catholicism is well-known, was not a religious writer in anything like the same sense as C.S.

The other hazard, of which Sandra Miesel is aware in her introduction (p. 12), is that the huge corpus of Tolkien criticism increasingly raises the question of what else there is to be said. |
