Amazon could not trace that title, is it possible that the
following could be the title depending on where your copy was published
perhaps this one from Amazon.co.uk is the same volume
Tolkien and the Mythic Imagination (that
was copied from Amazon and is the closest they could give me)
Hope that is possible, Grief, whats up withthe font on this
PC
I have parts 1 & 2 and am hoping to receive part 3
very shortly, have also applied for membership to the Viking Society, I
have an idea it might be a good thing to make the effort, to correspond
with the Group or privately, in Old Norse, that sounds appealing and it
would assist our studies, perhaps, it seems possible, Tolkien may have
done that, and part of the appeal of the project lies right
there.
Ok! Ok! I have been in touch
with Michael Barnes and will be getting his grammar and reader next
week from the Viking Society - until then still plowing my
way through E.V. Gordon.
BTW: One of my holiday
presents was Jane Chance's Tolkien and the Mythic Imagination which
has some good essays on Tolkien and the role studying Old Norse
(and the Oxford Kolbiter saga reading club) played in the
development of his legendiarum.
Best, Andy
BTW: Do we
ever actially try to communicate in Old Norse on this mail
group - not there yet but just wondering.
