0253 - The Silmarillion: 3 Major Problems
In early July, I published an 8 minute video on our YouTube channel titled The Silmarillion: 3 Big Problems (and How to Fix Them). For many Tolkien fans, even asserting that there are problems with a work like The Silmarillion might be considered borderline blasphemy. I might have even said the same thing several years ago! However, after our survey of Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth, I’m convinced that Christopher Tolkien himself came to view The Silmarillion as a flawed work.

0196 - Tolkien vs the Nazis
Tolkien lived in one of the greatest periods of upheaval, strife, and societal change in human history: from 1914 through 1945, the world seemed to be on fire both literally and ideologically. It was just a few years before the publication of The Hobbit that the Nazi regime came to power in Germany.

The Tolkien Road
Your mention of the “Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth” raises some interesting questions about the “eschatology” of Arda. As far as I can tell, JRRT apparently wanted the “Athrabeth” included as an Appendix to the Silmarillion, and yet Christopher chose to leave it out.
