(PUCRS/Porto Alegre Concurso Vestibular-2002-2)
***
The Silmarillion, now published four years after the death
of its author, is an account of the Elder Days, or the First
Age of the World. In The Lord of the Rings were narrated
the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of
The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper
past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middleearth,
and the High Elves made war upon him for the
recovery of the Silmarils.
Not only, however, does The Silmarillion relate the events
of a far earlier time than those of The Lord of the Rings; it
is also in all the essentials of its conception, far the
earlier work. (…) But it was never published (though some
indication of its content could be gleaned from The Lord
of the Rings), and throughout my father’s (J. R. R. Tolkien)
long life he never abandoned it, nor ceased even in his last
years to work on it. In all that time The Silmarillion,
considered simply as a large narrative structure, underwent
relatively little radical change; it became long ago a fixed
tradition, and background to later writings.
