Here are the picture and contents of this book referred our way by member @Elessar91.
Another patiently waiting my ability to get at it for consumption.
In a brief scan, I do note the author is prone to use of the "unnecessary 'that'" but the nature of the content may well exceed my own personal grievance with the practice.
As noted, I'm particularly interested in what he has to say in Chapter 5, since as some know, though the concepts of "good and evil" are certainly prevalent in Tolkien's mythology, as in virtually all other, I personally do not hold it to be the 'fundamental nature or intent' of his work.
All in all it looks to be much in line with my current readings for background to the 'books soon to come' (I still hope) of my own.
Thank you @Elessar91... most helpful of you.
