of Tolkien's fiction first published in 1983, examines THE SILMARILLION amd THE LORD OF THE RINGS in light of Owen Barfield's liguistic theory of the fragmentation of meaning.

Overview
In a completely revised version of her 1983 edition, Flieger (English, U. of Maryland, College Park) uses Owen Barfield's linguistic concept of fragmented meaning to assert the centrality of a theme of splintered light in Tolkien's work. Emphasizing the usefulness of Tolkien's The Silmarillion as a guide to his thought, Flieger traces the repeated and spiritual theme of things and people fragmented to become whole again.
