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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Kullmann, Dirk Siepmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030692981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030692988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Thomas Kullmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944166228223,"sku":"9783030692988","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_54cf5a36-ac9d-4a9f-b89b-14ff83428734.jpg?v=1681502173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tolkien-as-a-literary-artist-thomas-kullmann-9783030692988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
