		In the Tale of Beren and Lúthien in The Silmarillion it is described how Barahir, last lord of the Men of Ladros (Dorthonion), remained as an outlaw in his own land after it was lost to the Dark Lords Morgoth and Sauron in the Dagor Bragollach.

		It is highly possible that Tolkien himself may have observed the strange twilights of 1908, especially given his penchant for noting strange weather (as reflected in his published letters), and it is highly likely that he would have read at least one of the flurry of published articles on the Tunguska event appearing between 1928-30.

		In other, relatively late writings, a brief idea was that the Avari did not come from the three clans, but from two other clans, led by Nurwë and Morwë.

	Review: Tolkien's Legendarium
		In some cases the posthumous material is used to illuminate elements of the elder Tolkien's more familiar works; in others the focus is on those aspects of the legendarium that only saw the light of day in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth.
		Although many of the shapes are identical the meanings are not, and Smith relates this to Tolkien's changing and sometimes ambivalent attitudes toward the relationship of his legendarium with Primary World history.
		Taken as a whole, Tolkien's Legendarium is a significant contribution to the study of J.R.R. Tolkien, one that should be added to anyone's collection of basic critical works on that author.

		This is in part due to the incomplete nature of some of the works, their ever-changing content (Tolkien frequently rewrote and altered his stories) and the (admirable) desire of Christopher Tolkien to publish all these drafts, along with extensive scholarly commentary.
		This practice, along with citing published works in italics and offsetting quoted passages from the main text, produces a format that is pleasing to the eye, does not interrupt the flow of the essays, and yet contains references enough to satisfy the most ardent scholar.
		In contrast, Wayne G. Hammond's essay, 'A Continuing and Evolving Creation', is a fascinating discussion of the fundamental writing style of Tolkien, which involved a slow evolution and painstaking rewriting of the tales.

		As a scholar of medieval languages and literature, J.R.R. Tolkien brought to his fiction an intense interest in myth and legend.
		It would obviously not make easy reading, though there were always flashes of greatness, but an unflinchingly scholarly treatment of the palimpsests in the box files would, ultimately, provide a much closer understanding of the totality of his father’s vision.”

		Indeed nowadays Tolkien's 'legendarium' may be understood as the work of both Tolkiens together: as Rayner Unwin says in the first text of this book, thanks to Christopher Tolkien "one man's imaginative genius has had the benefit of two lifetimes' work".
		That is what the first group of essays, assembled under the title 'The History', studies: 'The History of Middle-earth' books as a literary (or, at least, editorial) work.
		Maybe hard for those who don't find enjoyment on 'History of Middle-earth' volumes, for these essays are focused mainly -but not exclusively- to their readers.

		Instead, he chose to create an entirely new 'legendarium', a pre-Christian corpus of song and verse, tradition and tale, passed down through the millennia.

		Flieger also explores the development of the legendarium, From its first incarnation: the voyage of 'Eriol who sails west to the Lonely Isle of Tol Eressea, arrives at the Cottage of Lost Play, and there hears stories of the Eldar and Valar and the song of creation' (p 87).

	Shadowmarch : New Tolkien Novel in Spring 2007
		The Túrin story is the element of Tolkien's legendarium that is the most "novelistic" in form, with more dialogue and detailed action than the more sweeping, historical style of the published Silmarillion.
		Thus the Silmarillion (the legendarium, as distinct from The Silmarillion, the 1977 text), was conceived of as a tapestry woven from materials taken from various other texts, some poetry, some prose, some fragmentary, some contradictory.
		The author wished for his third son, Christopher Tolkien, to become his literary executor after his death, and Christopher's first task was to organize the huge volume of papers that JRR Tolkien had created during his lifetime ; the first published work on the subject to appear was « The Silmarillion » in 1977.

	The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - Schools of Thought Concerning Tolkien's Works
		"Tolkien Last thoughts on the Legendarium"- These experts try to figure out where Tolkien was headed as the deciding factor as to which stories should be kept and which should be thrown out.
		Irrespective of knowledge of the texts or opinions as to their respective value, these two schools can be seen running through all of Tolkien fandom and scholarship, and leading, I may say, to a fair amount of confusion and annoyance.
		In contrast, the 'Legendarium' school, whose title work is edited by Carl Hostetter and Verlyn Flieger, contains such projects as are Annotated LotR or Tom Shippey's writings which seek to place Tolkien's work in the context of its Primary World antecedents or analyze it as a literary work of art.

	J.R.R. Tolkien - Tolkien Gateway
		A strongly committed Catholic, Tolkien was a close friend of C.S. Lewis, and a member of the Inklings, a literary discussion group to which both Lewis and Owen Barfield belonged.
		The two most prominent stories, the tales of Beren and Lúthien and that of Túrin, were carried forward into long narrative poems (published in The Lays of Beleriand).
		The popularity of Tolkien's books has had a small but lasting effect on the use of language in fantasy literature in particular, and even on mainstream dictionaries, which today commonly accept Tolkien's revival of the spellings dwarves and elvish (instead of dwarfs and elfish), which had not been in use since the mid-1800s and earlier.

		While the fact that Tolkien never completed the Legendarium is extremely depressing at times, the material he did 'complete' and the work he left behind unfinished are some of the most absorbing and thoughtful works i have ever read.
		Especially notable is the Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth (which should have been an appendix to the Silmarillion as Tolkien intended) and other such elements from Morgoth's Ring, which shows how deep Tolkien took his world.
		While the extention to include Numenor and then Gondor/Dunedain kingdoms deeply enriched Middle-Earth from the concepts of the 1930s, I do honestly think that the Hobbits are, and have always been the weakest link of the Legendarium.

	Book Review: The Uncharted Realms of Tolkien
		The sixth chapter consists of a profound, detailed and absolutely convincing analysis of The Hobbit which shows that the origin of this novel is completely independent of the “Legendarium” of the Silmarillion (SIL) and how it was only after the LotR was written that HOB began to be drawn into the Legendarium.
		The authors suggest that he is based on the medieval Green Knight and a red-haired, sparkling-eyed figure from North English folklore called the Brown Man o’ the Muirs, a vegetarian who rebukes the hunters who search for prey on his land, threatening the creatures in his care.
		Tom seems to be the embodiment of a “pure” natural science ; he is the spirit that desires knowledge of other things inasmuch as they are “other” and wholly independent of the enquiring mind, a rational spirit which desires knowledge as an end in itself : zoology and botany, not cattle-breeding or agriculture.
