Truth is the past few months...Good question, Micki<br /><br />Truth is the past few months have been hectic, and I've still not read the FALL OF GONDOLIN volume w. the attention it deserves, though I have dipped into it several times.<br /><br />To answer yr question: NO, this volume does not contain the outlines/plot notes and poems that are pretty much all we have of THE TALE OF EARENDIL, though of course they can still be found in BLT II. Instead, Christopher's solution is to follow the Gondolin material with the conclusion to the 1926 SKETCH, then the conclusion of the 1930 QUENTA, ending w. "The Prophecy of Mandos". Good stuff, though it makes the heart ache for what CT calls the truly lost tales: those his father for one reason or another never got written down.<br /><br />Hope this helps<br />--JDRJohn D.

In any case, we'll soon know.“<br />The book is out now—The Fall of Gondolin”—so what do we now know? Is there anything new about Earendel? <br /><br />Mickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592612022853202507noreply@blogger.com
