A literary phenomenon occurred in the History of Children's Literature in that five eminent scholars from one of England's most prestigious universities, Oxford, became interested in the creation of Other Worlds for children. In order to accommodate intensive investigation of the phenomenon, this study was delimited to include three of the five authors. Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien were selected to comprise the sample, while John Ruskin and W. H. Auden were excluded.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a A literary phenomenon occurred in the History of Children's Literature in that five eminent scholars from one of England's most prestigious universities, Oxford, became interested in the creation of Other Worlds for children. In order to accommodate intensive investigation of the phenomenon, this study was delimited to include three of the five authors. Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien were selected to comprise the sample, while John Ruskin and W. H. Auden were excluded.
520 $a This study investigated some of the motivational factors present in the lives of these scholars that stimulated them in the midst of brilliant academic careers to compose major works for children. Strands of similarities and differences were identified which existed in the family background, environment, and personality traits of each man. Historical, religious, and literary influences affecting each life were also examined. An additional factor of interest was each author's own perception of why he was compelled to create Other Worlds for children. Finally, an effort was made to describe some of the unique qualities of each author's work.
520 $a An analysis was made of the biographical data collected in all of the specific categories for each of the authors. This categorical analysis was conducted utilizing a method of comparing and contrasting, category by category, all available information for the group. In each area patterns of commonality and variance were noted and presented through discussion and cataloguing within each category.
520 $a Results of the study indicate that the three authors exhibited early in life an extraordinary intellectual ability to deal with abstractions. The environmental influences which operated upon each author's mental capacities were often quite similar when studied beyond the mere surface level of evidence. The major differences were chiefly found in the physical circumstances of each life.
520 $a This study concluded that the creative world of the field of Children's Literature was both ideal and irresistible to the three scholars. They were committed to the rigors of academic life and the love of language. In the final analysis Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien were men far removed from the give and take world of commerce. . . . (Author's abstract exceeds stipulated maximum length. Discontinued here with permission of school.) UMI
