'''''The Book of Lost Tales Part Two''''' (ISBN 0-395-36614-3) is the second part of [[Christopher Tolkien|Christopher Tolkien's]] 13-volume series [[The History of Middle-earth|''The History of Middle-earth'']], in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]. It follows, and is always published separately from, [[The Book of Lost Tales|Part One]].

'''''The Book of Lost Tales Part Two''''' is the second part of [[Christopher Tolkien|Christopher Tolkien]]'s twelve-volume series [[The History of Middle-earth|''The History of Middle-earth'']], in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father [[J.R.R. Tolkien]].

== Content ==
 
''The Book of Lost Tales'' contains the first versions of the stories which would later become ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', and is notable because, while very primitive in style and content, it is very close to the later work in many ways. Each of the Tales is followed by notes and a detailed commentary by Christopher Tolkien.
 
   
  +
==Content==
While many of the names in the book are identical or close to those in the later versions, some of them bear almost no resemblance to their final forms. J.R.R. Tolkien emended names of characters and places rather frequently, sometimes with several new variants (rejected in turn) written in a single manuscript. Confusingly, sometimes the name applied to one thing is later used to refer to a different thing, the original use abandoned. As an example, the house of [[Elves]] called "Teleri" in ''The Book of Lost Tales'' is not the same as that in ''The Silmarillion'' (see [[Teleri]]). The original usage of "Teleri" would eventually change until the name became "[[Vanyar]]". Meanwhile, the house of Elves called "Solosimpi" would inherit the name "Teleri".

There are more changes visible within the book, and it is not internally consistent, partially because even while still writing it Tolkien began rewriting earlier parts as his ideas about the world changed. The Tales were eventually abandoned, but they were resurrected in part as the "[[Sketch of the Mythology]]" which would become ''The Silmarillion''.

Hardcover cover design

The Book of Lost Tales Part Two is the second part of Christopher Tolkien's twelve-volume series The History of Middle-earth, in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father J.R.R. Tolkien.

It follows, and is generally published separately from, Part One.

Content

The Book of Lost Tales contains the first versions of the stories which would later become The Silmarillion, and is notable because, while very primitive in style and content, it is very close to the later work in many ways. Each of the Tales is followed by notes and a detailed commentary by Christopher Tolkien.

While many of the names in the book are identical or close to those in the later versions, some of them bear almost no resemblance to their final forms. J.R.R. Tolkien emended names of characters and places rather frequently, sometimes with several new variants (rejected in turn) written in a single manuscript. Confusingly, sometimes the name applied to one thing is later used to refer to a different thing, the original use abandoned. As an example, the house of Elves called "Teleri" in The Book of Lost Tales is not the same as that in The Silmarillion (see Teleri). The original usage of "Teleri" would eventually change until the name became "Vanyar". Meanwhile, the house of Elves called "Solosimpi" would inherit the name "Teleri".

The framework for the book is that a mortal Man visits the Isle of Tol Eressëa, where the Elves live. In the earlier versions of the "Lost Tales" this man is named Eriol, of some vague north European origin, but in later versions he becomes Ælfwine, an Englishman of the Middle-ages.

There are more changes visible within the book, and it is not internally consistent, partially because even while still writing it Tolkien began rewriting earlier parts as his ideas about the world changed. The Tales were eventually abandoned, but they were resurrected in part as the "Sketch of the Mythology" which would become The Silmarillion.

For publication the book was split into two volumes: The Book of Lost Tales Part One and The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, but this is simply an editorial division. Both volumes are comprised of several "Lost Tales", which can be considered as either chapters or simply "parts".

Table of Contents

  1. "The Tale of Tinúviel" — the first version of the tale of Beren and Lúthien
  2. "Turambar and the Foalókë" — the first version of the Túrin saga
  3. "The Fall of Gondolin" — the full narrative of the Fall of Gondolin
  4. "The Nauglafring" — a story which was "lost" (in that it never was rewritten in full) and mostly excluded from the later Silmarillion.
  5. "The Tale of Eärendel" — the only full narrative of Eärendil's travels
  6. "The History of Eriol or Ælfwine and the End of the Tales" — an essay about the changes in the framework, and the "unwritten" tales
