However, the eBook version is under $10. I would love your support if you're able to help. Link to Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnob...

Unlike the later middle ages absolutist kings [also of Númenor and Gondor] the feudal lord was below the law, he was under it and restricted by i...

Re: Looking for Tolkien Quote Preferred Political System
Perfect. Thanks for the great post. It looks like I scrambled a few letters together. Specifically, I was looking for letter 77, thank you for providing it. I searched the index but could not find anything to point me where I wanted to go, you have. I'm glad I could help! :) You beat me to it, Eldy...

Re: Looking for Tolkien Quote Preferred Political System
The only references to Gaul and the Holy Roman Empire that I'm seeing (with a ctrl-f search; neither are listed in the index of my print edition) are in Letters 77 and 294, respectively. What kind of mass manias the Soviets can produce remains for peace and prosperity and the removal of war-hypnoti...

Looking for Tolkien Quote Preferred Political System
I have a vague memory of Tolkien stating he would prefer a Gaul-like monarchy or perhaps HRE. He also stated he disliked pagan Rome. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Re: The Road less Traveled
Robert Frost, I believe. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was gras...

Re: Tolkien Publications
What’s your book about? Well, that is the issue; it is about many things. I am breaking it into two because the first half is about "themes" in Tolkien's works. Such as environmental and political "themes." But I have many other subjects related to "lore." So I talk ab...

I recently discovered that my upcoming book is larger than I thought it would be. I am looking to reduce its size. I have lore and movie-related sections that I would like to submit to a Tolkien-related website, or perhaps a magazine even. Does anyone have any suggestions?
