History of Middle-earth Index.

Morgoth's Ringis the first of two companion volumes documenting the later writing ofThe Silmarillion.The text of the Annals of Aman, the Blessed Land in the far West, is given in full; while further writings reveal 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.

The War of the Jewelscontinues the account of the later history ofThe Silmarillion, as the story returns to Middle-earth, and the ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power of the Dark Lord.

The Peoples of Middle-earthis this capstone to Tolkien's history of Middle-earth, presenting a chronology of the later Ages, the Hobbit genealogies, and the Western language or Common Speech. Here too are valuable writings from Tolkien's last years: "The New Shadow," in Gondor of the Fourth Age, and" Tal-elmar," the tale of the coming of the Nmenrean ships.

The History of Middle-earth IndexThis companion edition to the twelve-volumeHistorynow brings together all of the indexes in one place, and provides the reader with an invaluable sourcebook to all the peoples, places and other significant entries fromThe SilmarillionandThe Lord of the Ringswhich appear inThe History of Middle-earth.

Tolkiens writings on Middle-earth, a unique accomplishment that celebrates the greatest invented world in all of fantasy literature.
