CofieldIn J.R.R. Tolkien's books women play an important, though limited, role. There are no female characters at all in The Hobbit (actually causing Peter Jackson to create one for his movie version), and while there are a number of important women in The Lord of the Rings, the characters who are present in every chapter are all male. This has led some critics to label Tolkien misogynistic or merely schoolboyish. This collection of essays does much to demonstrate that women's roles in Middle-earth, as well as Tolkien's own attitudes towards females, are much more varied and complex than popular belief would have it.The 14 essays are divided into five groups: Historical Perspectives, Power of Gender, Specific Characters, Earlier Literary Contexts, and Women Readers. As a former history teacher myself I most enjoyed two of the essays in the first section: John D. Rateliff's "The Missing Women," which challenges the conception that Tolkien spent his life in masculine society by detailing the women with whom he had family, social, and professional connections and by emphasizing his strong, and at the time unusual, support for women's higher education; and also Sharin Schroeder's "She Who Must Not Be Ignored," which examines gender and genre in both The Lord of the Rings and in such Victorian "boy's books" as H.R. Haggard's "She," which Tolkien is known to have read and enjoyed. I also liked "Power in Arda," by Edith L.Crowe and "The Fall and Repentence of Galadriel" by Romuald I. Lakowski in the second and third sections for their insights into Tolkien's ever changing conceptions about his sub-creation. And again because of my background in history I really liked Melissa A. Smith's "At Home And Abroad," on Eowyn as a war bride! The fourth section's "The Valkyrie Reflex" by Leslie A. Donovan makes some fascinating analyses of Galadriel, Eowyn, Arwen, and (!) Shelob while Maureen Dunn's "Hidden in Plain View" makes some fascinating comparisons between Shakespeare and Tolkien's female characters. The fifth section has one essay, Una McCormack's "Finding Ourselves in the "(Un)Mapped Lands," which describes some intriguing fanfictions on some of Tolkien's lesser known female characters like Ioreth and Lothiriel (as well as some Middle-earth women created by the fanfiction writers themselves).As with any good collection of critical essays readers will find much with which to agree and disagree, but every selection is well worth reading. Most importantly, readers' appreciation for J.R.R. Tolkien's work will be enhanced by the insights and conclusions to be found within Perilous And Fair.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Impressive research, thinking, writingBy Carolyn CurtisFrom its beautifully illustrated cover worthy of the book's title to the index at the end, Perilous and Fair is a scholarly and comprehensive investigation of the beloved author's views on women and portrayal of them in his literature. The fourteen articles reach deep into the subject and include the Tolkien scholars' opinions as well as their research. Rich information here, including (new for me) the concept of "fanfiction."3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.The editor did a fantastic job with this and my most recent paper would ...By rowanAs one wanting to write on feminism and Tolkien, this book is indispensable. The articles in it are varied across subjects in relation to feminism and Tolkien, across time of Tolkien scholarship. What really helped me too was the bibliographic essay at the beginning because it gave me titles of other essays not covered in this work to start digging for as well! The editor did a fantastic job with this and my most recent paper would not have been as great without it. I look forward to using its resources in the future!See all 6 customer reviews...
