The History of the Hobbit presents, for the first time, the complete text of the Tolkien’s original manuscript of The Hobbit, accompanied ny Rateliff’s commentary looking at the story behind Tolkien’s tale and its themes. It records numerous changes made to the text both before and after publication and examines how they reflect Tolkien’s ever-developing concept of Middle-earth.
