The first of two companion volumes which documents the later
writing of The Silmarillion, Tolkien's epic tale of war. After The
Lord of the Rings was at last achieved, J R R Tolkien turned his
attention once again to 'the Matter of the Elder Days'. The text of
the Annals of Aman, the 'Blessed Land' in the far West, is given in
full; while in writings hitherto unknown is seen the nature of the
problems that Tolkien explored in his later years, as new and
radical ideas, portending upheaval in the old narratives, emerged
at the heart of the mythology, and as the destinies of Men and
Elves, mortals and immortals, became of central significance,
together with a vastly enlarged perception of the evil of Melkor,
the Shadow upon Arda. The second part of this history of the later
Silmarillion is concerned with developments in the legends of
Beleriand after the completion of The Lord of the Rings.
