The following account is the product of many years of research and yet is ultimately lacking a full sense of Monnet's own view of the enterprise. Even in this partial account, much insight into his thoughts and goals emerges. The struggle he endured over the last thirty years of his long life to express the meaning of his work and his life is clearer now than when the Memoires were published in 1976. The credit for this improved understanding belongs to his many friends and supporters who helped bring forth the story of his life"--Introduction.AutobiographyAuthorshipCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.)StatesmenEuropeBiographyEconomistsEuropeBiographyAutobiographyAuthorship.Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.)StatesmenEconomists940.5092Hackett Clifford P.548523MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910150331903321Who wrote the Memoirs of Jean Monnet2868506UNINA03874nam 22005053 450 991081738980332120230920182708.01-63101-466-8(CKB)4900000001422464(MiAaPQ)EBC6746710(Au-PeEL)EBL6746710(OCoLC)1281960717(BIP)081838321(EXLCZ)99490000000142246420230823d2021 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierA Sense of Tales Untold Exploring the Edges of Tolkien's Literary Canvas1st ed.Ashland :The Kent State University Press,2021.2021.1 online resource (178 pages)1-60635-430-2 Cover -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments and Permissions -- Abbreviations for Works by Tolkien -- Introduction -- Chapter One: Tolkien and the "Fundamental Literary Dilemma -- Chapter Two: Great Matters Grown Dim: The Allusive Web of the Last Alliance -- Chapter Three: "Strange Lumber": Faded Tradition in the Túrin Saga -- Chapter Four: A Portrait of the Poet as a Young Man: Omission in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth -- Chapter Five: Destroying Magic, Kindling Fire: Untold Tales and Tolkien's Legacy -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Works Cited -- Index.Exploring the uncanny perception of depth in Tolkien's writing and world-building A Sense of Tales Untoldexamines the margins of J. R. R. Tolkien's work: the frames, edges, allusions, and borders between story and un-story and the spaces between vast ages and miniscule time periods. The untold tales that are simply implied or referenced in the text are essential to Tolkien's achievement in world-building, Peter Grybauskas argues, and counter the common but largely spurious image of Tolkien as a writer of bloated prose. Instead, A Sense of Tales Untold highlights Tolkien's restraint--his ability to check the pen to great effect. The book begins by identifying some of Tolkien's principal sources of inspiration and his contemporaries, then summarizes theories and practices of the literary impression of depth. The following chapters offer close readings of key untold tales in context, ranging from the shadowy legends at the margins of The Lord of the Rings to the nexus of tales concerning Túrin Turambar, the great tragic hero of the Elder Days. In his frequent retellings of the Túrin legend, Tolkien found a lifelong playground for experimentation with untold stories. "A story must be told or there'll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving," wrote Tolkien to his son during the composition of The Lord of the Rings,cutting straight to the heart of the tension between storytelling and world-building that animates his work. From the most straightforward form of an untold tale--an omission--to vast and tangled webs of allusions, Grybauskas highlights this tension. A Sense of Tales Untold engages with urgent questions about interpretation, adaptation, and authorial control, giving both general readers and specialists alike a fresh look at the source material of the ongoing "Tolkien phenomenon."Sense of Tales UntoldFantasy literature, EnglishFantasy literature, EnglishHistory and criticismFrame-storiesFantasy literature, English.Fantasy literature, EnglishHistory and criticism.Frame-stories.823.91200000000003Grybauskas Peter1672378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQNZ-WeVULBOOK9910817389803321A Sense of Tales Untold4035671UNINA
