History
| Date | Event | Details |
|---|---|---|
2 October 1980 | Publication | Received as a valuable companion to the published Tolkien canon, with critics praising the additional depth given to characters and events from both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The editorial apparatus provided by Christopher Tolkien was widely praised for its transparency about the nature and status of the material. It was received primarily as essential reading for devoted Tolkien scholars rather than general readers, a position it has largely retained. |
