\"\"<\/a>Our good friend Douglas Kane (better known to TORN as \u201cVoronwe the Faithful\u201d) is proud to announce that the paperback edition of his book “Arda Reconstructed: The Creation of the Published Silmarillion” has now been published. The paperback edition has revisions to the text and a slick new cover design (see picture). Better yet, it’s available for half the price of the original hardcover edition. The paperback edition is currently available on Amazon here<\/a>. Continue to read more for some great reviews of this ‘must have’ for every Tolkien geek, collector and scholar.<\/p>\n

Douglas Kane minutely details the delicate task Christopher [Tolkien] undertook in stitching together elements of his father\u2019s oeuvre . . . . Kane\u2019s textual scholarship is rigorous and is a model not only for Tolkien scholars but for scholars of more canonical authors, whose textual study is often pursued with less enthusiasm. . . . [An] absorbing study.” \u2014Nicholas Birns, Tolkien Studies: An Annual Scholarly Review, Vol. 5<\/p>\n

“One marvels at the amount of work Kane has invested in his project and appreciates the rigor with which it is documented. . . [A] meticulously researched and valuable new reference work (one of all too few) on The Simarillion . . . it has the added benefit of approaching the work from the relatively new angle of considering Christopher\u2019s role as a vigorous editor, and Kane is to be congratulated for confronting the matter directly.” – Jason Fisher, Mythlore (the Journal of the Mythopoeic Society)<\/p>\n

“Douglas Kane reveals, in even more detail than has previously been available, the complexity of The Silmarillion; and in doing so, also brings into focus the intractable problems\u00a0 Christopher Tolkien faced in making its publication a reality in a form that reflected the “Silmarillion” material in all its breadth and depth. . . Arda Reconstructed is highly illuminating and very enjoyable to read, shedding much light on The Silmarillion.” \u2014Brian Henderson, The Tolkien Library<\/p>\n

“Arda Reconstructed . . . is probably the most extensive analysis of The History of Middle-earth so far undertaken.” \u2014The Literary Encyclopedia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
