[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 75256704, member: 167101"] Sure. [B]J.R.R. Tolkien[/B] was working within a creative frame of mind that incorporated motifs of his Roman Catholic Christian faith. [B]Robert E. Howard[/B] wasn't a Christian and had what I'd call other, older Modernist ideologies, not quite Christian. [B]Michael Moorcock[/B] isn't a Christian and had more esoteric interests in his fantasy fiction; at the same time, he was more concerned with ethical issues in his fiction than with those of metaphysical truth or religion. See, in hermeneutically analyzing the ideology that is represented within a fictional work, I NOT ONLY look into the work and its literary structures and meanings found therein, I also attempt to vet out the intricacies of the philosophies held by the authors in their actual lives. I don't know. Which books are you referring to specifically? [/QUOTE]
