Question about CT's editing hand in the Sil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thanks for your response as well. I had wondered how much of a role Christopher Tolkien played...interesting to know that his presence was, for the most part, minimal. And regarding the HoME, it's definitely on my "To-Read" list...so I hope to discover more about the process in due time.

But I appreciate you answering my basic question. Thanks again!

You may want to take a look at the Silmarillion chapter discussions where I've been highlighting some of the more significant changes and editorial decisions CT made.

Thanks for the link, Aiwendel. I've just purchased Unfinished Tales as well, so already I'm beginning to get a clearer picture about how The Silmarillion was shaped
