	Section 2 Abstracts of the Proceedings of the J.R.R. Tolkien Centenary Conference
		This paper attempts to place Tolkien's fiction in a distinctively English literary context: a tradition of visionary writing which strives toward national epic, existing from Spenser through Milton (and in certain respects, Blake) to Tolkien.
		This paper will assess comparisons between the heroes, women, dragons, plots and tokens for their contribution to understanding Tolkien's relationship to his sources, and will note Tolkien's craft in source-assimilation.
		This paper explores Tolkien's vision of fantasy within the broader historical context of Romanticism, clarifying the ways in which he inherits and revises Romantic views of the creative imagination via the concept of "sub-creation".

		In previous papers I have tried to suggest the value of drawing plants as they grow, and to any one who cares for them as living things--who wants to know more of them than the mere grammar of botany--there is a field for age-long research in recording their habits of life and gestures and growth.
		Members of the Club who have special interests are invited to send their sketches, of whatever kind, for criticism, and for the pleasure of the rest in seeing their work.

		Written by J.R.R. Tolkien in the interval between The Two Towers and The Return of the King (1945-1946), these mysterious Papers, discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century, report the discussions of a literary club in Oxford in the years 1986-1987.

	J. R. R. Tolkien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The character of Professor Rashbold in The Notion Club Papers is a pun on the name.
		Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892 in Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State (now Free State), South Africa, to Arthur Reuel Tolkien (1857-1896), an English bank manager, and his wife Mabel Tolkien (1870-1904, maiden name was Suffield).
		Privately, Tolkien was attracted to "things of racial and linguistic significance" and he entertained notions of an inherited taste of language, which he termed the "native tongue" as opposed to "cradle tongue" in his 1955 lecture English and Welsh, which is crucial to his understanding of race and language.

		The second part concerns _The Notion Club Papers_, a hitherto unpublished work concerning N\'umenor and its connection to modern history; the third is also about N\'umenor, being entitled _The Drowning of Anad\^une_, and includes a substantial report on the Ad\^unaic language.
		However, the `editors' disagree about whether the papers were written during that time, or (by the evidence of the paper and writing) during the 1940s (when Tolkien was actually writing them).
		For us, the most important part is the report, by one of the Notion Club members, on the structure of the Adunaic language, in so far as he could recover it from his dreams.

		During these meetings, Alwin Arundel Lowdham discusses his lucid dreams about Númenor; through these dreams, he "discovers" much about the Númenor story and the languages of Middle-earth (notably Quenya, Sindarin, and Adûnaic —; the last very interesting since it is the sole source of most of the material on this language).

		"The Notion Club Papers" is discussed as an idealized portrait of the Inklings.
		This paper will show that they had a profound influence, so much so, that Lewis and Williams should be considered co-architects of Middle-earth.
		Secondly, Tolkien and the Inklings were familiar with the primarily Medieval notion that the matter of the world is inherently divided into groups of "four".

		Notion Club is conceived as the fragmentary record, found in mysterious circumstances, of the meetings of an assortment of varyingly eccentric Oxford academics, purportedly held in the 1980s and '90s and discovered in the early 21st century, but thought to be a fiction conceived much earlier, in the 1940s.
		Beneath this conceit, Notion Club is a contrived lampoon of the Inklings, the informal literary drinking club of which Tolkien and C. Lewis were the best-known members.
		At this point, the Notion Clubbers start discussing these more philosophical methods of travel in time and space, which two of them eventually use to assume the characters we now know as Amandil and Elendil, and are able witness the downfall of Númenor.

	Book reviews page 4 - The Tolkien Society
		This book represents an approach to Tolkien's world little explored previously, save by the author herself who has discussed it in lectures and papers such as that given by her at the 1992 Tolkien Centenary Conference at Oxford, published in its Proceedings (Flieger, 1995).
		Subsequently in "The Notion Club Papers", the plan was greatly refined and elaborated, and its dramatic potential as a story much enhanced, by being placed in a "near future", time, and in the context of a real-life Oxford.
		The "drowning of Númenor" is reflected in a tremendous storm, at the height of which the two principal "travellers" vanish, only to reappear weeks later to recount their shared experience "in the past".

		Symmetry in the language of pattern-designers means the effect produced when you fold your paper down the middle and rub off a reversed impression of the pattern on one side, like a reflection in water.
		Then in the light field shade all the parts that are dark, and in the gloom look for whatever lights there may be reflected from picture-frames, catching on a hanging lamp, or outstanding furniture, and rub out these places roughly with indiarubber until you have a scribbled sketch which illustrates this law of symmetrical interchange.
		There ought to have been a paper on that subject, and the want of it had to be made up by a good deal of writing in the monthly criticisms, and illustrative sketchesfor example, of a hand held up, in a side light, with a white cuff and a fl coat-sleeve.

		Though a more subtle influence in his more well-known works, these concepts of time are prominent in some of Tolkien's lesser-known and incomplete works, and they lay the foundation for their use in The Lord of the Rings.
		Tolkien's perspective on time and time travel in "The Notion Club Papers" and "The Lost Road" form one of the bases for the concept of Faerie in The Lord of the Rings.
		The time travel ideas that were first explored in "The Notion Club Papers" and "The Lost Road" play an integral role in the development of Boromir's character and his role in The Lord of the Rings: a dream and portent of his future drives Boromir to Rivendell and his ultimate fate.

		Her argument is most persuasive when she applies it to Frodo's various dreams in The Lord of the Rings, to the Lorien episode in The Two Towers, and to two unfinished works: an early piece called The Lost Road and a late one entitled The Notion Club Papers.
		And because she finds Tolkien entertaining notions of reincarnation and psychic time-travel and occult experience at these particular points in his fiction, she assumes that they are at work everywhere in his work.

		There are some interesting discussions on the nature of science-fiction as a literary vehicle (demonstrating just how familiar Tolkien was with the subject matter) as well as the nature of dream-travel that is astoundingly reminiscent of some of H. Lovecraft's esoteric delving.
		Nevertheless, "The Notion Club Papers" would be considered rather dry for most mainstream audiences and are likely to appeal solely to the hardcore Tolkien fan.
