內容簡介
In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, it examines -- chapter-by-chapter -- why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937. Like its successor, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that "grew in the telling", and many characters and story threads in the published text are completely different from what Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as part of their "fireside reads". As well as reproducing the original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. Like Christopher Tolkien's The History of The Lord of the Rings before it, this is a thoughtful yet exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature. Long overdue for a classic book now celebrating 75 years in print, this companion edition offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight those who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.

私底下,托爾金被任何有關種族及語言學意含的事物吸引,並且思考著一種與生俱來的語言品味,一種他在1955年“英語與威爾士語”這場演講中所提到的“母語”(native language),相對於自幼時所學的語言(cradle language)。他認為西密德蘭的中古英語是他所擁有的“母語”,就如同他在1955年給大詩人奧登的書信中所提到:‘在血緣上,我是一位西密德蘭人(並且早先在我第一眼看到西密德蘭的中古英語時,我就已經視他為已知的語言)。’

托爾金原來打算齣一本大塊頭,但是因為在戰後紙張短缺,所以他的想法沒能付諸實現。最後小說隻能分成三冊齣版:《魔戒首部麯-魔戒同盟》(篇I和篇II)、《魔戒二部麯-雙塔 》(篇III和篇IV)和《魔戒三部麯-國王歸來》(篇V和篇VI,6個附錄,4個索引)

因為這三本小說是如此廣泛地分布,所以此作品通常被稱為魔戒三部麯。但是嚴格來說這是不對的,因為其構思本就是一部完整的作品。
