The Lays of Beleriand
The third volume of The History of Middle-earth contains the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkienâs epic tale of war, The Silmarillion.
The Lays of Beleriand, the third volume of The History of Middle-earth, gives us a privileged insight into the creation of the mythology of Middle-earth, through the alliterative verse tales of two of the most crucial stories in Tolkienâs world â those of Turien and LĂșthien. The first of the poems is the unpublished âLay of The Children of HĂșrin,â narrating on a grand scale the tragedy of TĂșrin Turambar. The second is the moving âLay of Leithian,â the chief source of the tale of Beren and LĂșthien in The Silmarillion, telling of the Quest of the Silmaril and the encounter with Morgoth in his subterranean fortress.
Accompanying the poems are commentaries on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days. Also included is the notable criticism of âThe Lay of The Leithianâ by C. S. Lewis, who read the poem in 1929.
