A Chronological Bibliography of Books About Tolkien
Compiled by Åke Bertenstam

Introduction

Books about adaptions have with Peter Jackson's films based on The Lord of the Rings become somewhat of a problem as some of these also treat Tolkien. In a sort of compromise between keeping them in or leaving them out I have noted them as an addendum to the bibliography proper under the heading Media related books.

Books are listed chronologically and alphabetically arranged within each year. At the end of the list there is a section on forthcoming books. The information in this section is by nature tentative and subject to change.

The following categories of books are listed.

• Works treating Tolkien in their entirety.
• Works devoted to Tolkien to some extent. To meet this criterion a book must contain at least either a chapter or a paper devoted wholly or in part to to be included in this list.

It must be emphasized that the following list only contains published books. Thus no doctoral or masters thesis are included, except in the few cases when they have seen a commercial publisher.

There is no minimum number number of pages that a chapbook must contain to be listed below. I have also included privately published books.

Lastly must noted that I plan to make two companion pages to this one. One is this list arranged in another fashion, listing the books according to subject, another lists the articles that appears in the various collections listed below.
