01 The Silmarillion, now published four years after the death 02 of its author, is an account of the Elder Days, or the First 03 Age of the World. In The Lord of the Rings were narrated 04 the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of 05 The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper 06 past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middleearth, 07 and the High Elves made war upon him for the 08 recovery of the Silmarils. 09 Not only, however, does The Silmarillion relate the events 10 of a far earlier time than those of The Lord of the Rings; it 11 is also in all the essentials of its conception, far the 12 earlier work. (...) But it was never published (though some 13 indication of its content could be gleaned from The Lord 14 of the Rings), and throughout my father’s (J. R. R. Tolkien) 15 long life he never abandoned it, nor ceased even in his last 16 years to work on it. In all that time The Silmarillion, 17 considered simply as a large narrative structure, underwent 18 relatively little radical change; it became long ago a fixed
19 tradition, and background to later writings.
