Littlemanpoet- - I was confused about one thing in your post. Are you sure T.A. Shippey did a book on splintered light? I know he wrote The Road to Middle-earth and then J.R.R. Tolkien, Author of the Century. Perhaps you are taking about an article I've not read, or perhaps it was a typo on your part.

The book I am familiar with is by Verlyn Flieger, Splintered Light, Logos and Language in Tolkien's World. This author also wrote Time, J.R.R. Tolkien's Road to Fairy, but I haven't read that yet.

Splintered Light is the one that discusses Barfield's ideas. I'll get back to you on that later. My kids are racing around the house tonight making a real racket and I can't think now!
