Conventions and Abbreviations

Because there are so many editions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, citations will be by book and chapter as well as by page-number (referenced to the editions listed below). Thus a citation from The Fellowship of the Ring, book two, chapter four, page 318 is written (FR, II, iv, 318). The "Silmarillion" indicates the body of stories and poems developed over many years by Tolkien; The Silmarillion indicates the volume first published in 1977.
