La naturaleza de la Tierra Media
J.R.R. Tolkien opinaba que El Silmarillion era el fundamento para su mundo imaginado, pero a pesar de ser la obra primaria y central, no fue capaz de llevarla a su forma final, y le tocó a su hijo, Christopher, construir la última versión de un ?Silmarillion? a partir de los relatos dejados por su padre cuando éste falleció. Porque, partiendo de un mito cerrado, con un comienzo y un final, el material narrativo había llegado a adquirir una extensión enorme, con importantes personajes que emergían de los Días Antiguos, entre los cuales Galadriel era la más importante. Por lo tanto, Tolkien tuvo que realizar una gran cantidad de "reescrituras" para que El Silmarillion guardase una correcta relación con El Señor de los Anillos. Los escritos recogidos en La naturaleza de la Tierra Media muestran los caminos que Tol.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a major scholar of the English language, specialising in Old and Middle English. Twice Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford, he also wrote a number of stories, including most famously The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955), which are set in a pre-historic era in an invented version of the world which he called by the Middle English name of Middle-earth. This was peopled by Men (and women), Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Orcs (or Goblins) and of course Hobbits. He has regularly been condemned by the Eng. Lit. establishment, with honourable exceptions, but loved by literally millions of readers worldwide. In the 1960s he was taken up by many members of the nascent "counter-culture" largely because of his concern with environmental issues. In 1997 he came top of three British polls, organised respectively by Channel 4 / Waterstone's, the Folio Society, and SFX, the UK's leading science fiction media magazine, amongst discerning readers asked to vote for the greatest book of the 20th century.
