The fourth volume that contains the early myths and legends which
led to the writing of Tolkien's epic tale of war, The Silmarillion.
In this fourth volume of The History of Middle-earth, the shaping
of the chronological and geographical structure of the legends of
Middle-earth and Valinor is spread before us. We are introduced to
the hitherto unknown Ambarkanta or "Shape of the World", the only
account ever given of the nature of the imagined Universe,
ccompanied by maps and diagrams of the world before and after the
cataclyusms of The War of the Gods and the Downfall of Numenor. The
first map of Beleriend is also reproduced and discussed. In The
Annals of Valinor and The Annals of Beleriend we are shown how the
chronology of the First Age was moulded: and the tale is told of
Aelfwine, the Englishman who voyaged into the True West and came to
Tol Eressea, Lonely Isle, where he learned the ancient history of
Elves and Men. Also included are the original 'Silmarillion' of
1926, and the Quenta Noldorinwa of 1930 - the only version of the
myths and legends of the First Age that J R R Tolkien completed to
their end.
