Kent, Ohio 2002 Pictorial Softcover Second Edition {First Printing} Fine 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. "Verlyn Flieger's expanded and updated edition of SPLINTERED LIGHT, a classic study ... 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. Flieger demonstrates Tolkien's use of Barfield's concept throughout his fiction, showing how his central image of primary light splintered and refracted acts as a metaphor for the languages, peoples, and history of Middle-earth.

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.
