From “Speech and Silence in The Lord of the Rings: Medieval Romance and the Transitions of Eowyn”

After finishing The Fall of Arthur this morning, I pulled this book from my shelf this evening. In the introduction, the description of this essay relating Eowyn to a female medieval knight seemed a perfect complement to my earlier reading. It‘s a truly interesting analysis of Eowyn‘s character development from court lady to acting lord of Rohan to shield maiden and finally to wife and healer.

Seren and I had a cozy evening with this memoir. Reached about the halfway mark, but now I need to get some sleep!
