英美第二、三波托尔金研究高潮中的研究者们除了像以往那样在托尔金作品的主题、原型、讽喻意义、象征性、基督教元素、自传因素、政治隐喻等等方面继续挖掘外,还在托尔金所创造的语言及其语言哲学、托尔金的宗教信仰与其创作的关联、托尔金作品中的时间问题、托尔金创造的“英国的神话”、托尔金与现代派之迥异的原因等方面做出了卓有成效的新探索,托尔金研究的学术地位日渐巩固。
Researchers in the second and third waves of Tolkien studies in the UK and the USA in the 1970s throughout 1990s continued to dig as their predecessors did in the areas of the themes, archetypes, allegorical and symbolical meanings, Christian allusions, autobiographical features, political metaphors of Tolkien’s writings. They also explored new areas and achieved significantly on the topics of the languages Tolkien created and Tolkien’s philosophy of Language, the correlation between Tolkien’s religious belief and his writing, the question of time, Tolkien’s “mythology for England”, the cause for the difference between Tolkien and the modernists. By this time, Tolkien studies had gradually acquired an established position as a serious literary research.
