A list of available documents related to The History of Middle-earth (and related books: The Letters and The Unfinished Tales, for example, where relevant) by Christopher Tolkien.

• 27 May 2022
  • Remove all text due to copyright concerns. I have to rework this and it will likely take a long while as I have a lot going on and I've been quite stressed (I did start it but I had to stop so I decided to just remove the content).
• 03 Aug 2021
  • Add more information about the Five Wizards (including the role of the Blue Wizards).
• 31 Jul 2021
  • Minor note on the fact that there's more known about the blue wizards in The Peoples of Middle-earth (it's in the todo file but I wanted to note it in the History of The Lord of the Rings document too).
• 14 Dec 2020
  • Typo fix in The Lord of the Rings document.
• 17 Oct 2020
  • Reorder two sections of The Lord of the Rings history document to make consistent with the preceding section.
• 28 Jun 2020
  • Add more on Oliphaunts in the history of The Lord of the Rings document.
• 03 Apr 2020
  • Add initial germ of the Nazgûl calling cry to the history of The Lord of the Rings document.
• 31 Mar 2020
  • Add the Oliphaunt rhyme to the Oliphaunts history section of the history of The L.R. document.
• 26 Mar 2020
  • Add amusing dialogue between Bingo, Odo and Frodo about hobbit-holes and hobbit-houses in the history of The Lord of the Rings document.
• 20 Feb 2020
  • Add to History of The Lord of the Rings two sections: the complete history of oliphaunts and the earlier names for Dernhelm (the name Éowyn gives Merry, disguised as a man).
  • Fix the error that Glorfindel was last seen at The Council of Elrond (in fact we last see him leave Middle-earth along with the others at the end of The LR but that's of no real significance).
• 23 Dec 2019
  • Added a comment on the hobbit invention in the document on the History of Middle-earth.
• 08 Dec 2019
  • Link and hypertext fixes.
  • Remove some redundancy (and extraneous details).
  • Add the original story where Frodo encounters Treebeard (very different in every way from the final).
  • Cleaned up a number of sections and made last updated/new dates consistent in the menu with the sections themselves.
• 05 Jul 2019
  • Fix long time error in The History of The Lord of the Rings document: it is not 'Stone Giant' but 'Stone Troll'; the original source of the conflation derives from the origin of 'trolls' versus 'giants'; direct link to section is here. As well I updated a few other sections, referencing some things and even other sections to make things a bit clearer or easier to follow, maybe.
• 11 Jun 2019
  • Add two sections to The Lord of the Rings document: pranks that Bingo plays on Farmer Maggot and alternative Ring verses.
• 03 May 2019

• 17 Aug 2018
  • Remove erroneous statement about Thorin and a Ring of Power in The Hobbit.
• 12 Jun 2018
  • Restructuring of document.
