THE HISTORY OF MIDDLE-EARTH
Volume 11
CHRISTOPHER TOLKIEN
In The War of Jewels Christopher Tolkien takes up his
account of the later history of The Silmarillion from the point where
it was left in Morgoth's Ring. The story now 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. With the publication in this book of all J.R.R.
Tolkien's later narrative writing concerned with the last centuries of the First
Age, the long history of The Silmarillion, from its beginning in The
Book of Lost Tales, is completed; and the enigmatic state of the work at
his death can be understood.
The book contains the full text of the Grey Annals, the primary record
of The War of the Jewels, and a major story of Middle-earth now published
for the first time: the tale of the disaster that overtook the forest people
of Brethil when Húrin the Steadfast came among them after his release
from long years of captivity in Angband, the fortress of Morgoth.
