Mythlore is the irregularly published peer-reviewed journal of the Mythopoeic Society. Although it publishes articles that explore the genres of myth and fantasy in general, special attention is given to the three most prominent members of the Inklings: J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Charles Williams.
[edit] History
Mythlore appeared January 1969 under the editorship of Glen GoodKnight, founder of the Mythopoeic Society. Early issues were fanzines, albeit with a "sercon" ("serious and constructive") bent. Mythlore became a peer-reviewed journal beginning with issue #85 (Winter 1999), under the editorship of Dr. Theodore Sherman.[1]
The current editor is Janet Brennan Croft.
