To the online version of my Graduation Paper in English.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I named my Paper: "A critical analysis of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and
Tad Williams’ Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy; with reference to the art of
plagiarism in Fantasy Literature", which is basically just mouthful of an excuse
to compare Tad with Tolkien. But I thought that I should point out a few things
about the paper before you start reading.

>  * How it is divided.
>  * How to read it
>  * An off-line version.
>  * Entrance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE STRUCTURE:

The paper is basically divided into five parts:

>  * Tolkien's Biography, and his Creation (Middle Earth)
>  * Tolkien's Characters and the general storyline
>  * Tad's Biography, and his Creation (Osten Ard)
>  * Tad's Characters and the general storyline
>  * A big(gish) section comparing the two authors and their works.

These parts are reffered to as LotR, Tolkien's World, MS&T, Tad's World and
Plagiarism.

SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO READ THE PAPER:

These of course are my personal feelings on how to read the online version of
the Paper, so feel free to ignore them.

The Internet is a dynamic medium of communication, and when writing or
programmig for such, I feel that one should consider this fact. One should be
able to read in the order one wants, and not have to follow the thread through
from front to back. So I changed the form of my paper around a bit, to allow for
jumping back and forth when reading. Originally it was written as a hard-copy
version, and this may show in some of the arguments, but there was no real way
to allow for easily going forward or backwards. Now, you can read, say, the
section on Tolkien's Characters, then read about Tad's People, and then see what
arguments I brought forward in the Plagiarism section for similarities between
protagonists.

Or, naturally, you can just go straight at the beginning and work through to the
end. Your decision!

AN OFF-LINE VERSION:

This is a zip of the original hard-copy paper I handed in for my Graduation
Exam. It was graded with an A-, of which I was rather proud. It's a MS-Word
document, 40 pages long, containing 18,208 words! Print at your own peril!!!!!
