      title = {Tolkien as a literary artist : exploring rhetoric,  language and style in the Lord of the Rings /},
      abstract = {This book takes a fresh look at Tolkiens 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  Tolkiens 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 Tolkiens vocabulary and syntax, while Thomas  Kullmann uses discourse theory, literary history and  concepts of intertextuality to explore Tolkiens 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 novels  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.

He has published widely  on Shakespeare and the English Renaissance, English  childrens literature and the nineteenth- and  twentieth-century novel.
