This book takes a fresh look at Tolkien's literary artistry from
the points of view of both linguistics and literary history, with
the aim of shedding light on the literary techniques used in The
Lord of the Rings. The authors study Tolkien's use of words, style,
narrative techniques, rhetoric and symbolism to highlight his
status as literary artist. Dirk Siepmann uses a corpus stylistic
approach to analyse Tolkien's vocabulary and syntax, while Thomas
Kullmann uses discourse theory, literary history and concepts of
intertextuality to explore Tolkien's literary techniques, relating
them to the history of English fiction and poetry. Issues discussed
include point of view, speeches, story-telling, landscape
descriptions, the poems inserted into the body of the narrative,
and the role of language in the characterization of the novel's
protagonists. This book will be of particular interest to students
and scholars of literature, corpus linguistics and stylistics, as
well as Tolkien fans and specialists.
In englischen Romanen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts dienen
Schilderungen von Landschaft und Wetter der Verdeutlichung des
Geschehens bzw. der Charakterisierung der Personen. Die
Untersuchung analysiert diese Naturmotivik als komplexes
Zeichensystem. Die Entwicklung dieses Erzahlverfahrens, die von
Anfangen im 18. Jahrhundert zur psychologischen Darstellungsknst in
der Gothic Novel (Radcliffe, Maturin) und im viktorianischen Roman
(Bronte Sisters, Dickens) und zur Naturphilosophie Thomas Hardys
fuhrt, wird an Textbeispielen nachgezeichnet."
