I took a look through the reviews! Seems like either people didn't realize that when reading it, they must understand that it was written before the Sil came out and when Tolkien's family had already selected an official biographer; or they didn't care for the Hildebrandt collection; or they knew how old it was and complained that it had not been updated with Sil information. Well, maybe if they ordered it online without looking through the pages, but luckily I bought mine on the sale table at B&N (one year in the post Christmas sale markdowns...I got it for I think $2!) and it is clearly "updated" in the sense that it has an epilogue discussing the fact that "in 1977 Tolkien published the Sil" etc. A short chapter on the Sil is included in this edition (the one I bought). I had read it years ago, pre Epilogue date. I think it was the first bio I ever read of Tolkien, except for maybe Carpenter's "The Inklings".
"an seileachan" The Lost Mod Power: An Elegy (with apologies to Wordsworth) What though the mod power which was once so bright Be now FOREVER taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the stats, of glory in the power, We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind.
