The Lays of Beleriand, published in 1985, is the third volume of Christopher Tolkien's twelve-volume series, The History of Middle-earth.

Contents[]

The book gives the long "lays" or poems that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote about the sagas of Túrin Turambar and of Beren and Lúthien, which are known as The Lay of the Children of Húrin and The Lay of Leithian (or Release from Bondage). Although Tolkien abandoned both of these before their respective ends, they were many stanzas in length, lasting each for over ten pages.

The first tale is in alliterative verse, and the second is in rhyming couplets. Christopher Tolkien presents two versions of both, and in addition, a few shorter, likewise abandoned poems by his father.

The first versions of the long lays fit chronologically with Tolkien's earliest writings, as recounted in The Book of Lost Tales, but the later versions are contemporary with the writing of The Lord of the Rings.
