Silmarillion: how was it born?
i know that the published Sil is not 100% original from JRRT.
in HOME appears a lot of alternative material (among other stories) that could be used in the Sil but was refused by Chris judging them imperfect or not being the "last version" of each story. my question is: and what about the selected material? i mean: Chris chose some versions and unified the style, solved contradictions, reduced and completed those tales to give us a "finished" book. (and a wonderful one if i may say  )so, which were his "corrections" and "additions"? does he explain this point in any of the HOME books? thanks
