An eagerly awaited exploration of Tolkien's Silmarillion The
content of Tolkien's mythology, the Silmarillion, has been the
subject of considerable exploration and analysis for many years,
but the logistics of its development have been mostly ignored and
deserve closer investigation. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century
scholars understood the term mythology as a gathering of song and
story that derived from and described an identifiable world.
Tolkien made a continuous effort over several years to construct a
comprehensive mythology, to include not only the stories themselves
but also the storytellers, scribes, and bards who were the
offspring of his thought. In Interrupted Music Flieger attempts to
illuminate the structure of Tolkien's work, allowing the reader to
appreciate its broad, overarching design and its careful,
painstaking construction. She endeavors to "follow the music from
its beginning as an idea in Tolkien's mind through to his final but
never-implemented mechanism for realizing that idea, for bringing
the voices of his story to the reading public." In addition,
Flieger reviews attempts at mythmaking in the history of English
literature by Spenser, Milton, and Blake as well as by Joyce and
Yeats. She reflects on the important differences between Tolkien
and his predecessors and even more between Tolkien and his
contemporaries. This in-depth study will fascinate those interested
in Tolkien and fantasy literature.
