Description

MTHOPOEIC SOCIETY FOUNDER GLEN GOODKNIGHT passed away on November 3, 2010. GoodKnight founded the society after a picnic he organized for Tolkien lovers in 1967 drew a gratifyingly large crowd; from this beginning grew a world-wide community of scholars and fans devoted to understanding and enjoying the works of Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, and other writers of mythopoeic literature. Biographical sketches and personal appreciations have been published in Mythprint (the November 2010 issue is entirely devoted to Glen GoodKnight), the Los Angeles Times (his obituary was published in the 14 November 2010 issue), and elsewhere, including the personal blogs of a number of his friends, (1) and I direct interested readers to these sources for more information about Glen GoodKnight, the man. As the current editor of the journal he founded to be the scholarly voice of the society, I want to focus here instead on Glen GoodKnight, the scholar. While he contributed several fine articles to Mythlore and the Mythopoeic Society conference proceedings, producing scholarship himself was not his main focus; he did not publish outside the society as far as I have been able to determine, and his papers, few though they are, may therefore lack the wider exposure they deserve as they deal with concepts and issues still much debated today. The bulk of his writing for society publications consisted of reviews and editorial columns, some of these columns being substantive enough on their own that I have listed them below. In later years his main scholarly focus was a bibliography of editions of Lewis's Narnia books, especially translations, which can still be consulted at his website, inklingsfocus.com.
