Class 1 of The Shaping of Middle-earth: The Birth of the Silmarillion
In which Dr. Corey Olsen begins his examination of the fourth volume of the History of Middle-earth series to start off this free, eight-week seminar, on The Shaping of Middle-earth. He starts with a look at Chapters I & II.
A recap of books 1-3 of The History of Middle-earth served to introduce us to the shape and growth of Tolkien's legendarium up to the beginning of the Sketch of the Mythology (1926), which Tolkien undertook between writing The Lay of the Children of Hurin and The Lay of Leithian. This Sketch represents the birth of the Silmarillion as we know it.
