The Soldier’s Stigmata, Part I: Habitus and Speaking of the Future Otherwise in Lois McMaster Bujold’s “The Borders of Infinity”Andrew Hallam

04/10/2025

I'm going to start posting the Editorial as well when I post the contents alert. There is often news that you might miss if you don't subscribe to or buy the whole issue and only read it on the platform. Note below, for example, an upcoming price increase. If your subscription already includes #148, the price increase will appear in your next renewal notice.

Editorial, Mythlore #147
A few bits of business before I introduce the contents of Mythlore #147, the Fall/Winter 2025 issue. First, John Rosegrant, a Tolkien scholar of note and a frequent contributor to this journal and others, has begun moving into the position of Reviews Editor and has handled the process of reading and making editorial decisions for most of the reviews for this issue. If you are interested in reviewing, or want to bring a title to our attention for review, use our new reviews email address, [email protected].

Unfortunately, the rising costs of printing and postage necessitate another price increase. Starting with the Spring 2026 issue, #148, all annual print and print/electronic subscriptions will rise by $10.00. Starting with #148, the cost of individual print back issues will be $25.00 each. Electronic subscription and back issue prices remain the same, as do the prices of older print back issues.

By the end of this year, you can expect a formal Mythopoeic Society policy on the use of Generative AI-produced materials across all of our publication and presentation platforms, including Mythlore. Watch our website or follow our social media feeds for updates.

In this issue, the first five essays focus on very specific topics within Tolkien studies. Lyra Keran Zhang’s Alexei Kondratiev Award-winning paper takes a deep dive into the character of Aredhel, the elf-woman whose complex textual history ranges over sixty years. Benjamin Blakeslee-Drain explores agnosia, or unknowing, and its implications for the narrator biases present in the legendarium materials. Derek Simon’s research finds much to consider in the kennings attached to Goldberry; the second half of his extensive study will appear in the next issue.

Continuing this theme of tight focus on narrow topics, Bo Kampmann Walther explores the entangled issues of mapping, naming, and queerness enmeshing Lothlórien and Galadriel. And Stuart Bowes examines the anachronistic Mathom-house and its place in Middle-earth and Tolkien’s linguistic project.

The next essay starts to transition us away from Tolkien: Alexander Retakh uses Tolkien’s thoughts on magic to explore Welsh author Saunders Lewis’s play Blodeuwedd. Next, Landon Loftin looks at the Classical and Romantic inspirations for The Wind in the Willows.

The essay section closes out with studies of two authors perhaps better known for science fiction than fantasy, and who were both in attendance at the 2024 Mythcon in Minneapolis. Sandra J. Lindow expands on the sense of humor and fancy in the works of our Guest of Honor at that conference, Eleanor Arnason, while Andrew Hallam explicates Lois McMaster Bujold’s novella “Borders of Infinity” through the concepts of habitus and figura, in another essay that will see its second half published in Mythlore #148.

Our Notes in this issue are also very Tolkien-centric. Ian Gunn examines Tolkien’s dragons as incursions of Faerie into the mundane world, while Matthew Thompson-Handell uncovers a long-overlooked incident of plagiarism in early Tolkien scholarship. Bart Jaski and Kris Swank give us another perspective on Tolkien’s attendance at an event in his honor in Holland, through the eyes of scholar Maartje Draak. Matthew McKenna provides a Lewisian addition to his article on vows and free will in Mythlore #146. Two Letters close out this section: one from Nancy Martsch providing additional information on the musical setting for “Namárië,” and another from Züleyha Çetiner-Öktem in response to a review of her edited collection Mythmaking Across Boundaries.

We close, as usual, with an extensive selection of reviews of books about the Inklings, other fantasists, fantasy and related genres in general, and a few less-easily-classified items which may be of interest to Mythlore readers.

If you would like to keep up with news relating to Mythlore, please follow us on Facebook, where we post advance notice of papers accepted for upcoming issues, lists of items available for review, and so forth.

In addition to the members of the Mythlore Editorial Advisory Board, the Mythopoeic Society Council of Stewards, and our ever-dependable referees, I’d also like to express my continuing gratitude to Phillip Fitzsimmons, University Archivist and Special Collections Librarian at Southwestern Oklahoma State University Libraries and our Administrator for Mythlore and Mythopoeic Society Archives, who directs the team adding content to dc.swosu.edu/mythlore/, and to his assistant Ben Dressler. I share their pride in the fact that Mythlore reached a milestone of one million items downloaded from the SWOSU platform earlier this summer!

My thanks as usual to David L. Emerson for moral support, eagle-eyed proofreading, and keeping the editor optimally caffeinated. My gratitude also to John Rosegrant for taking on the role of Reviews Editor.

As I near the twentieth anniversary of becoming editor of Mythlore, I would like to invite more collaboration with students and scholars who want to develop their expertise in editing. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are interested in a short-term internship of one or two semesters, or a longer-term commitment as an editorial assistant.

Interested in what editors do in mediating between the author and the reviewer(s)? While this article is about book publishing, much of it is applicable to journal publishing, too.

Peer reviewers for book manuscripts are often more helpful than they’re given credit for (even the mean ones).
