silwritersguild | New Peer-Reviewed Reference: "Burning in the House: Éowyn's Outcry & the Death of Aerin" by Himring

I am pleased to announce that we have added a new peer-reviewed essay to our Reference Library! Himring's essay Burning in the House: Éowyn's Outcry and the Death of Aerin is now available. Here is the summary:

In an attempt to allow widely separated parts of the Legendarium to throw light on each other, Aerin's final acts are compared to the imagery in which Éowyn's expresses her concerns in The Lord of the Rings. The relevant passages share the motif of the burning house. The handling of this motif suggests authorial sympathy with Éowyn's plight.
