Tolkien wrote "Mythopoeia" in response to C.S. Lewis' assertion that

Philomythus and Misomythus " offers this response: art and
myth-as-culture need not oppose knowledge and progress.

This was written for the Leaf and Stone Yahoo Group's The Tolkien
Tango Prompt #12: WANDERING. When I first saw the prompt, the first
thing that popped into my head was the map of Middle-earth as seen in
the film... and then I seemed to see, in my imagination, little
footprints wandering about between Mordor and the misty mountains,
crossing the Dead Marshes, heading north and west... And this is what
Gollum had to say.

What are the subcategories for poetry? Again, I'm not certain that
"The Ring that Sauron Forged," which follows the Ring throughout Its
existence, should be subcategorized under Hobbits.

"Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." LOTR

I mourn for this nation.

Hi Larner,

The subcategories in poetry are

Genres: Poetry: General
Genres: Poetry: Drama
Genres: Poetry: Hobbits
Genres: Poetry: Late Third Age

We placed it in Genres: Poetry: Hobbits because you selected Hobbits as
one of your category choices (your third-choice category), and because
you selected three hobbits as "characters for categorization" (meaning
that they could be used as the basis for setting up subcategories).
Since there are only five poems in Genres: Poetry: Hobbits, if I move
this poem it will make that category nonviable. Therefore I'd rather not
move it if that can be avoided.

Thanks,

Marta
