Culhwch & Lúthien : Keltisk mytologi i J. R. R. Tolkiens sagovärld / Culhwch & Lúthien : Celtic mythology in the fantasy world of J.R.R. Tolkien

Ericsson, Emil January 2014 (has links)
This study investigates in what respects Celtic mythology influenced J. R. R. Tolkien when writing the sagas incorporated in the mythopoeic compilation of The Silmarillion. Through narrative and comparative analysis, stories from the Irish prose collection Lebor Gabála Érenn, as well as the Welsh medieval manuscript Mabinogion, are collated to the tales of The Silmarillion in order to illuminate possible influences. The survey showed that even though Tolkien expressed a certain distaste for everything Celtic, several elements of Irish and Welsh mythology are indeed visible in his works.
