"a most valuable...handbook"--<i>SFRA Review</i>; "relatively little attention has been focused on the twelve volumes of The History of Middle-earth...a very useful teaching and reference tool...stresses the enormous role that Tolkien's readers had in prompting him to rethink, revise and refine some of the more complex elements of his mythology"--<i>Tolkien Studies</i>; "an excellent 'primer' for those who found <i>The History of Middle-earth</i> itself intimidating. It is to be hoped that others will follow her fine example"--<i>SEVEN</i>; "an insightful and thought provoking examination"--<i>Critical Mass</i>; "welcome...a weighty contribution to Tolkien commentary"--<i>St. Austin Review</i>; "show[s] the seriousness of the topics that Tolkien addressed...examin[es] not just the factual evolution of Tolkien's story but the stylistic evolution as well...this consideration of style is a real achievement, as this topic--requiring a command of the whole body of the <i>History</i>--has attracted little previous comment"--<i>Mythlore</i>; "painstakingly combs through the many versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's writings...undoubtedly a work of scholarship, but it's a lot more accessible than most of the genre. This isn't an introduction to the stories, it's a way to deepen your understanding of them"--<i>Green Man Review.</i>
