Interrupted Music

 

Prof. Flieger's latest book on Tolkien, Interrupted Music: The Making of Tolkien's Mythology.
Cover by Ted Nasmith.


 
Interrupted Music is a searching exploration of Tolkien's Music of Creation as the metaphor for his own creative process. Like the Music, Tolkien's Silmarillion was an ongoing, often interrupted, stubbornly persistent yet never fully realized mythic vision. Verlyn Flieger traces Tolkien's methodology from his earliest strategy of presentation through its shifts and modifications as his vision altered and developed.
