Mythlore paper[edit]

@Chiswick Chap:: this source might be useful for this article, it is definitely worth a read in any case:

Thorpe, Dwayne (1991) "Fantasy Characterization: The Example of Tolkien," Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature: Vol. 17 : No. 4 , Article 6.

Not a bad paper. Mythlore has steady become more scholarly over the decades and is now a very useful source. Thorpe is however talking about moral depth, richness of characterisation, not about the impression of depth through time and into past and mythical ages.
