Description
Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien's World by Verlyn Flieger explores the linguistic and mythological foundations of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. This revised edition examines the connections between Tolkien's fiction and Owen Barfield's theory of the fragmentation of meaning. Flieger reveals how Tolkien's use of primary light as a metaphor reflects the languages, peoples, and history of Middle-earth.
