The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

This is my favorite line so far in this section, “The Evolution of the Poem.” Even after works were published, they weren‘t always safe from further revisions by Tolkien.

“As a rule, indeed, no manuscript of my father‘s could be regarded as ‘final‘ until it had safely left his hands.”

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

I haven‘t had a lot of reading time this past week, so my priority was finishing The History of Love. Now that it‘s done, I finally settled in to start “The Evolution of the Poem” this evening with supper. Also, crazy Missouri weather was in the 60s yesterday and back in the 30s today, so it was chili for supper again.

So, these are some of the images I've found when l googled 'Avalon Arthur'.
I had never realised before how much of the imagery of the Arthurian legends exists in Tolkien's world.

I enjoyed reading Christopher's comparison between Avalon and Numenor, which wasn't what l was expecting from bringing Arthurian legends and Middle-earth together.

Daisey As always, you found some beautiful images to go along with our reading. They really do fit my imaginings of both worlds. 1mo

BarbaraJean It's amazing how these images (especially the two on the right) would fit as illustrations of Middle-earth! 1mo

Seriously, I'm quite intrigued by this Guenevere.
She seems very different from Tolkien's women, who generally carrie a strong creation energy.
This Guenevere seem to be rather on the other side of the spectrum. She seems to be quite the careless destroyer.

Only read two cantos last week. I admit I'm struggling with the poetic form, but I'm also enjoying the story.

And I'll admit I'm quite eager to read the essays, because l did hear strong echoes from Middle-earth 😂
I mean, come me on! Guinevere fleeing in the forest like that!

I finished Canto V this afternoon, and thankfully I knew this was a very incomplete poem when we started. It feels to me like the story is really just getting started when Tolkien‘s work in progress ends. I would have loved to have read more of the story in this poetic style. Onto the essays tomorrow.

I read Canto II today and found it took a bit more effort to read than the first one.

The way Tolkien describes Guinevere in this section reminds me of Luthien fleeing from her house in the tree and out of the forest of Doriath.

BooksandCoffee4Me If interested in Tolkien, I highly recommend the book The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings: J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams, which narrates the biographies of each of the Inklings, including Tolkien, and in addition gives details about the interactions and relationships among the group members. (edited) 2mo

Daisey @BooksandCoffee4Me Carpenter‘s book is still on my TBR, but I did enjoy this newer one.
