A Chronological Bibliography of the Writings of J.R.R. Tolkien
compiled by Åke Bertenstam

The aim of the chronological bibliography given below is to give a complete record of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien's published writings: books, contributions to books, and contributions to periodicals. Some exceptions have had to be made to this stated intent, mainly for practical reasons. Thus the categories given below have been excluded.

• Letters. Apart from Letters itself only the few letters to editors of publications that were published during Tolkien's lifetime have been listed (see the letters published in The Observer, Catholic Herald, Triode, and Daily Telegraph). For a record of Tolkien's published letters, in whole or in extract, I refer to Hammond 1993, section Dii, supplemented by further notes in The Tolkien Collector (see for example no. 6, 1993, p. 26 concerning a letter about Tolkien's views about Esperanto).
• Illustrations and art. Only editions of Tolkien's illustrations (i.e. Pictures and the volumes edited by Wayne Hammons and Christina Scull) as well as Wayne Hammond & Christina Scull: J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist & Illustrator have been given, the latter on the strength that apart from reproducing a large number of Tolkien's pictures it also quotes some unpublished writings such as an essay on dragons. This means that all calendars, postcards, posters etc. have been omitted. For information about these I again refer to Hammond 1993, section E.
• Manuscript pages and miscellaneous writings. In recent years there have appeared several articles giving facsimiles of manuscript pages and/or quotes from unpublished texts, especially in linguistic studies. These have not been recorded below, except in cases when the full text of a manuscript has been given, such as in the case of "Narqelion" . Some of these can be found in Hammond 1993, section F, supplemented by notes in The Tolkien Collector.
• Reprints. Generally speaking only the first appearance of a work has been noted. I have, however, reported when revised versions of a text have been published as well as cases when a reprint is far more easily found than the first printing. Collections of Tolkien's texts have been listed, however, even in the cases when they consist entirely of writings published previously, but not other anthologies. For information concerning reissues, new editions etc. I refer to my own Tolkien bibliography (see Jönsson 1983) and supplements to it (see Jönsson 1986, Bertenstam 1988, 1990 and 1994), published in the annual Arda.

Lastly it might be noted that, even if exact publishing dates for the vast majority of the publications listed below can be ascertained (largely through information taken from Hammond 1993), I have preferred to give the works in alphabetical order within each year rather than in chronological order.

Introductory note to the 8th edition (2014)

After a hiatus of some eleven years this bibliography has finally seen a much needed and long overdue update. Apart for adding some 25 new entries for the period 2004-2014 numerous old entries have been revised, especially those concerned with the new edition from 2014 of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

Among the books added to this edition is The Art of The Hobbit (edited by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull). This has been listed as it contains reproductions of illustrations not included in Pictures or Wayne Hammond & Christina Scull: J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist & Illustrator.

It should perhaps also be noted that I have postponed adding some books for further consideration. These include books with quotes from unpublished academic writings by Tolkien such as The Keys of Middle-earth by Stuart D. Lee and Elizabeth Solopova.

Finally it might be noted that even if I have added the 2005 edition of Tom Shippey's The Road to Middle-earth to the list of sources no page references for this edition have so far been given to the reprints of poems from Songs for the Philologists.

A few corrections of this document were made on 29th December 2014, among them giving the correct page information for "Tha Eadigan Saelidan" in A Northern Venture.

Link to the 8th edition of this bibliography.

Introductory note to the 9th edition (July 2015)

This new edition lists the contents of the latest volume of Parma Eldalamberon and also notes the publishing of an abbreviated version of John D. Rateliff's A History of The Hobbit as well as correcting the entry for the 1966 version of Tolkien's translation of "The Book of Jonah".

In the Introductory note to the 8th edition I noted that some books had been postponed pending further consideration. These still remain so. To this list could be added the pocket edition of Smith of Wootton Major, edited by Verlyn Flieger and published in February 2015. As I do not yet have been able to check a copy of this I do not know if this differs in any way from her previous edition of the book published in 2005, which would merit the new edition being noted.

A revised version is published in The Lord of the Rings, Book One, Chapter 9 and as "The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon" in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
    The subtitle refers to the fact that the poem is based on a (seemingly) nonsensical nursery rhyme, which Tolkien has "explained" by putting its disjointed lines into a context:

    Hey diddle diddle
    The cat and the fiddle
    The cow jumped over the moon
    The little dog laughed to see such sport
    And the dish ran away with the spoon.
