List of writings

This article is a list of all books by J. R. R. Tolkien and writings contained in these books (stories, essays, poems, etc.) related to his Middle-earth legendarium.

The list is not necessarily complete or up to date — if you see an article that should be here but is not (or one that should not be here but is), please do update the page accordingly.

It lists also articles that haven't been created yet, but are linked to from other Middle-earth articles, as well as articles which are only redirects: many articles therefore link to the same page.

Original tie-in books from the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies or any other adaptations do not belong here and are not included.
