	Greek Philosophy
		There is a large and growing literature about mythology, but here all that is necessary are the points what will serve the purpose of distinguishing philosophical thought from the thought of people in earlier Middle Eastern civilizations (Egyptians, Babylonians, etc.) about the nature of things.
		Much Egyptian literature, indeed, has not surived on papryus at all but on the ostraca, the fragments of pots and chips of stone, that were used by boys (no girls, by the way) in scribal schools -- they were denied valuable papyrus for the humble task of copying their lessons.
		On television or in New Age literature (one thinks of Shirley MacLaine and her books like Out on a Limb -- made into a TV movie in 1987), one is liable to hear that the word "metaphysics" means "beyond" (meta) the "physical" (physics).

	Fantasy vs. Science Fiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Classifying books as Mythopoeic (creating myth) and not Science Fiction is a difficult decision and one I have not done often.
		I, however, am not for Mythopoeic literature oftimes strays much too close to the conceit of portraying itself as a true reality.
		By creating this, perhaps arbitrary, separation between Fantasy and Mythopoeic literature, I have found it easier to describe why I do not like certain books (I couldn't accept their propaganda).

		Mythcons, or Mythopoeic Society Conferences, are gatherings of people who, for going on 34 years now, have been pleased to discuss the finer details of Inklings-related literature.
		The Mythopoeic Society, sponsor of the Mythcons, calls itself a "non-profit international literary and educational organization for the study, discussion, and enjoyment of fantasy and mythic literature, especially the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams."
		Mythopoeic Society Conferences are attended by Christians as well as nonChristians, I will note, and while some are leery of discussing their favorite Christian authors in such a setting, others are encouraged by this widespread appeal of said authors.

		Among professors of English literature and readers in cultural studies, sociologists of popular culture, literary critics, and editors both journalistic and commissioning — in short, all the class of professional literary explainers — Tolkien and his readers are a no-go zone.
		The kind of literature which might be said to describe an important part of Tolkien’s work, fairy-tales, has been subjected to Freudian, feminist, structuralist, Jungian, anthroposophical and Marxist interpretations in just this way.
		To quote Ihab Hassan, ‘I do not know how to give literature or theory or criticism a new hold on the world, except to remythify the imagination, at least locally, and bring back the reign of wonder into our lives.’ Such a response to modernity is no mere escapist sentimentality.

	Jouvert 5.1 -- Eriks Uskalis, Contextualizing Myth in Postcolonial Novels: Figures of Dissent and Disruption
		If we are to see mythopoeic literature in Africa as an inflection of dissent, then we are faced with the fundamental, and taxing, question of agency because myths have no authorial point of origin.
		Literacy allows history to be seen as development whereas oral literature and myth emphasise timelessness, seems to be the argument, and that the spread of literacy and the subsequent struggle for appropriation and the control of the means of communication is crucial.
		Sperber's scepticism concerning interpretation can be seen as a critique of the reduction of mythical literature to the status of a referential system organised by an intending subject, but some explanation and discussion of the symbols of myth is necessary as the concept of communication so central to structuralist analysis is too crucial to drop.

		For my end of studies thesis in Literature I wrote a paper called "Shakespeare and Nothing" in which I explored "mystical" facets of his work, such as a possible relationship with alchemists and neoplatonists of the time, or the profound philosophy and understanding of Life which is contained within his work.
		My areas of interest are Renaissance and Medieval Literature, while particular areas of interest include issues of subjectivity in the writers of the Renaissance and subjectivity's more foundational relationship to tyranny and sovereignty from the reign of Elizabeth to the articulation of the citizen subject in the writing of Milton.
		The translation of any piece of dramatic literature into a performance state is difficult enough; however, when working with a piece that is already nearly four hundred years old and has been performed an innumerable times, making it seem "fresh" while striking a balance with the playwright's intent is a daunting task, indeed.

	Amazon.com: An Experiment in Criticism (Canto): Books: C. S. Lewis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Lewis's classic An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite.
		Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations and values extraneous to the work, in order to approach it with an open mind.
		While this work is clearly a scholarly work, aimed at a scholarly audience, it is neither desirable that it be excluded from the modern scholar's library (because it is written by C.S. Lewis) or the amateur literary lover's library (because it is scholarly).

		This was the project he took upon himself (as he later wrote): that of constructing a mythology for England that was "'high', purged of the gross, and fit for the more adult mind of a land long steeped in poetry" (Ibid 90).
		This reclamation of North European medieval literature - bringing its pre-Christian traditions within the fold of their belief - is one Tolkien shared with his Oxford companions, the Inklings.
		Like his fellow Inklings, he was attracted to the medieval literature of northern Europe, and he saw within it the possibilities of expressing his Christian values, despite the pessimism of his own war-torn era.
