Tolkien's later narrative writing concerned with the last centuries of the First Age, the long history of The Silmarillion, from its beginnings in The Book of Lost Tales, is completed and the enigmatic state of the work at his death can be understood. With the publication in this book of all J.R.R. In The War of the Jewels the story returns to Middle-earth, and the ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power of the Dark Lord. In Volume 10, Morgoth's Ring, the narrative was taken only so far as the natural dividingpoint in the whole, when Morgoth destroyed the Trees of Light and fled from Valinor bearing the stolen Silmarils. In volumes 10 and 11 of The History of Middle-earth Christopher Tolkien recounts from the original texts the evolution of his father's work on The Silmarillion, the legendary history of the Elder Days or First Age, from the completion of The Lord of the Rings in 1949 until his death.
