It's here! My essay that I worked very hard on about how Tolkien constructed his fictional histories to comment on real world nationalist mythmaking. It's free! It costs $0 to read! And I think it's very good.

I am very excited today to publish @arobertswrites.com's essay "What Lies and Threats" - looking at nationalist myth-making in Lord of the Rings, especially for Gondor and Rohan.
