Morgoth's Ring
''Morgoth's Ring'' (1993) is the tenth volume of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume series ''The History of Middle-earth'' in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. R. R. Tolkien. It contains "The Annals of Aman" which presents the history of Arda with year-by-year entries like real-world annals, and "Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth" which presents a discussion of death and immortality between an Elf and a human. Reviewers welcomed the volume, noting that it reveals Tolkien exploring hard questions about his mythology, and struggling to reconcile them, to the extent that he unsuccessfully attempts a destructive reworking of the entire cosmology of Arda. The issues covered include death, immortality, and the extent to which Tolkien embodied Christianity in Middle-earth; evil and the origin of Orcs; and Tolkien's attempts to replace his mythology with "feigned history".

The Notion Club Papers
''The Notion Club Papers'' is an abandoned novel by J. R. R. Tolkien, written in 1945 and published posthumously in ''Sauron Defeated'', the 9th volume of ''The History of Middle-earth''. It is a time travel story, written while ''The Lord of the Rings'' was being developed. The Notion Club is a fictionalization of Tolkien's own such club, the Inklings. Tolkien's mechanism for the exploration of time is through lucid dreams. These allow club members to experience events as far back as the destruction of the Atlantis-like island of Númenor, as narrated in '' The Silmarillion''. The unfinished text of ''The Notion Club Papers'' runs for some 120 pages in ''Sauron Defeated'', accompanied by 40 pages of Christopher Tolkien's commentary and notes, with examples of the pages hand-written by his father. Context J. R. R. Tolkien was a scholar of English literature, a philologist and a medievalist interested in language and poetry from the Middle Ages, especially that of Anglo-Sa ...

''The Shaping of Middle-earth – The Quenta, The Ambarkanta and The Annals'' (1986) is the fourth volume of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume series ''The History of Middle-earth'' in which he analysed the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. R. R. Tolkien. Book Contents In ''The Shaping of Middle-earth'' the gradual transition from the "primitive" legendarium of '' The Book of Lost Tales'' to what would become '' The Silmarillion'' is described, and it contains a text which could be seen as the first "Silmarillion": the "Sketch of the Mythology". Three other parts are the ''Ambarkanta'' or "Shape of the World", a collection of maps and diagrams of the world described by Tolkien; and the Annals of Valinor and Beleriand, chronological works which started out as timelines but gradually turned into full narratives. # Prose fragments following the Lost Tales — brief, uncompleted texts which continue on from ''The Book of Lost Tales'' # The earliest "Silmarillion" � ...

The Lays Of Beleriand
''The Lays of Beleriand'', published in 1985, is the third volume of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume book series, ''The History of Middle-earth'', in which he analyzes the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. R. R. Tolkien. Book Contents The book contains the long heroic lays or lyric poetry from Tolkien's legendarium, omitted from ''The Silmarillion'': these are ''The Lay of the Children of Húrin'' about the saga of Túrin Turambar, and ''The Lay of Leithian'' (also called ''Release from Bondage'') which tells the Tale of Beren and Lúthien. Although Tolkien abandoned them before their respective ends, they are both long enough to occupy many stanzas, each of which can last for over ten pages. The first poem is in alliterative verse, and the second is in rhyming couplets. Both exist in two versions. In addition to these two poems, the book contains three short, soon-abandoned alliterative poems, ''The Flight of the Noldoli from Valinor'', ''The Lay of Eärendel ...

The Book Of Lost Tales
''The Book of Lost Tales'' is a collection of early stories by the English writer J. R. R. Tolkien, published as the first two volumes of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume series ''The History of Middle-earth'', in which he presents and analyses the manuscripts of those stories, which were the earliest form (begun in 1917) of the complex fictional myths that would eventually form ''The Silmarillion''. Each of the Tales is followed by notes and a detailed commentary by Christopher Tolkien. For publication the book was split into two volumes: ''The Book of Lost Tales 1'' (1983) and ''The Book of Lost Tales 2'' (1984), but this is simply an editorial division. Each volume contains several "Lost Tales". Content Outline, with later equivalents in ''The Silmarillion'' Inscriptions There is an inscription in the Fëanorian characters (Tengwar, an alphabet Tolkien devised for High-Elves) in the first pages of every ''History of Middle-earth'' volume, written by Christo ...

The History Of Middle-earth
''The History of Middle-earth'' is a 12-volume series of books published between 1983 and 1996 by George Allen & Unwin in the UK and by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Houghton Mifflin in the US. They collect and analyse much of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, compiled and edited by his son Christopher Tolkien. The series shows the development over time of Tolkien's conception of Middle-earth as a fictional place with its own peoples, Languages constructed by J. R. R. Tolkien, languages, and history, from his earliest notions of "a mythology for England" through to the development of the stories that make up ''The Silmarillion'' and ''The Lord of the Rings''. It is not a "History of Arda, history of Middle-earth" in the sense of being a chronicle of events in Middle-earth written from an in-universe perspective; it is instead an out-of-universe history of Tolkien's creative process. In 2000, the twelve volumes were republished in three limited edition omnibus volumes. Scholars inc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unfinished Tales
''Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth'' is a collection of stories and essays by J. R. R. Tolkien that were never completed during his lifetime, but were edited by his son Christopher Tolkien and published in 1980. Many of the tales within are retold in ''The Silmarillion'', albeit in modified forms; the work also contains a summary of the events of ''The Lord of the Rings'' told from a less personal perspective. The collection received a cautious welcome from scholars and critics. They noted Christopher Tolkien's warning that a good knowledge of the background was needed to gain much from the stories. Others noted that the stories were among the best of Tolkien's writing; Warren Dunn expressed a wish for the whole of the history in such a format. The book, with its commentary, was commercially successful, indicating a market for more of Tolkien's work and leading to the 12-volume ''The History of Middle-earth''.
