Description
The Silmarillion - Thirty Years On by Allan Turner Thirty years have passed since Christopher Tolkien's edition of The Silmarillion was first published in 1977, offering readers their first glimpse into the rich mythology and history that underpin J.R.R. Tolkien's narrative. This collection of six articles commemorates this milestone, exploring various areas of investigation that have emerged over the past thirty years, including mythopoeia, theology, the legacy of the ancient North, and the creative process. The contributions to this volume include a completely re-written version of a section from Rhona Beare's introduction to The Silmarillion, as well as new pieces written specifically for this occasion. These articles offer a fresh perspective on the work, shedding light on some of the key areas of study that have developed in the intervening years. This collection provides a valuable insight into the ongoing scholarly debate surrounding The Silmarillion, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in Tolkien's work or the field of mythopoeia.
