miramФилип Марчанд ("Тхе Торонто Стар) в статье про Толкина цитирует книжку Кэтрин Р.Стимпсон 1969 года:
"The all-boys athmosphere of the Inklings was very suspicious, but Stimpson hastened to set the record straight (as it were) on Tolkien. "Unlike many very good modern writers, he is no homosexual", she stated. "Rather, he simply seems a little childish, a little nasty, and evasive."
А дальше она обижается за Шелоб:
"Certainly, Tolkien was no feminist saint. Stimpson noted the relative paucity of female characters in The Lord of the Rings -- a fair comment -- and then pushed her indictment further. "Even more suggestive of Tolkien's subtle contempt and hostility toward women is the atavistic tale of Shelob, the terrible, poisonous spider," -- Stimpson wrote. "The scene, which has a harrative energy far greater than its function, oozes a distasteful, vengeful quality as the small, but brave, male figure really gets the enormous, stenching bitch-castrator."
