Archetypal Criticism
My previous note includes the following:
"For a… literary antidote to postmodernist nihilism, see Archetypal Theory and Criticism, by Glen R. Gill."

Carl Gustav Jung, from a strongly Protestant background, has been vilified as an "Aryan Christ" by Catholics and Jews.
To counteract this vilification, here are two links:
-
The Individuated Hobbit: Jung, Tolkien, and the Archetypes of Middle-Earth, by Timothy R. O'Neill, Houghton Mifflin, Sept. 1979
"A bridge to Jung for the Tolkien fan" — Craig Duncan. Tolkien was, of course, a devout Catholic.
The author, Timothy O'Neill, seems more worthy of respect than the author of a (lapsed) Catholic attack on Jung, Richard Noll.
(See also "Tolkien: Archetype and Word," by Patrick Grant, Cross Currents, Winter 1973.)
-
"Jung and the Kabbalah," by Sanford L. Drob.
The author, Sanford Drob, seems more worthy of respect than the author of a Jewish attack on Jung, Hannah Newman.
