Cover design for the second illustrated edition, as illustrated by (ISBN 0-618-39111-8) For several years after his father's death, Christopher Tolkien compiled a Silmarillion narrative.

Christopher's intentions seem to have been mostly to use the latest writings of his father's that he could, and to keep as much internal consistency (and consistency with The Lord of the Rings) as possible, [21] though he admitted that a complete consistency was impossible. [2] As explained in The History of Middle-earth, Christopher drew upon numerous sources for his narrative, relying on post-Lord of the Rings works where possible, but ultimately reaching back as far as the 1917 Book of Lost Tales to fill in portions of the narrative which his father had planned to write but never addressed. In one later chapter of Quenta Silmarillion, 'Of the Ruin of Doriath', which had not been touched since the early 1930s, he had to construct a narrative practically from scratch. [22] The final result, which included genealogies, maps, an index, and the first-ever released Elvish word list, was published in 1977. Posthumous publication In the late 1950s Tolkien returned to The Silmarillion, but much of his writing from this time was concerned more with the theological and philosophical underpinnings of the work than with the narratives themselves.

By this time, he had doubts about fundamental aspects of the work that went back to the earliest versions of the stories, and it seems that he felt the need to resolve these problems before he could produce the 'final' version of The Silmarillion. [18] During this time he wrote extensively on such topics as the nature of evil in Arda, the origin of, the customs of the Elves, the nature and means of Elvish rebirth, and the 'flat' world and the story of the Sun and Moon. [18] In any event, with one or two exceptions, he wrought little change to the narratives during the remaining years of his life. [18] [20] for publication. The Lord of the Rings But when it became clear that would not be possible, Tolkien turned his full attention to preparing [19] and he greatly desired to publish the two works together. [18], The Lord of the Rings after completing The Silmarillion He renewed work on [17]. The Lord of the Rings, but soon turned to the sequel, which became The Silmarillion Tolkien began to revise [16].

The Hobbit The publisher instead asked Tolkien to write a sequel to [16]'. But they rejected the work as being obscure and 'too [6].
