Cap'n H's Comments

Tolkien was not only a Christian in a nation that was predominantly Christian and still is. The significance of Tolkien's religion is that he was a Catholic in a nation with a state religion that was founded as anti-Catholic. It's a fact that until 1829, Catholics lacked the same civil liberties and protections of the law as Anglicans/Episcopalians.

There's some fascinating stuff here, and I would hope for more. Perhaps the relationships between Mary Shelly and Lord Byron shall be counted on the list. She was a young bride, and after a stormy night of telling ghost stories with her husband Percy and their friend, Lord Byron, wihle in Switzerland, she proceeded to pen a novel that would result in one of the most notorious horror archetypes. The name of the novel was "Frankenstein."
