Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | J. R. R. Tolkien was subject to Attention Deficit Creator Disorder and perfectionism, with the result that The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are rare among his works in that he actually finished them - though even then continually making notes for revised second editions. The vast majority of his works were in a disorganised array of disparate parts written across more than 50 years when he died. His son Christopher Tolkien put together the published version of The Silmarillion using some of these parts, but later decided to present more of the source materials alone — with commentary — to demonstrate how the conception of Middle-earth had evolved across the years. |
