Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth

Style and Technique

The book «Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth» by J.R.R. Tolkien is a collection of various texts that were not completed or included in the author's main works.

The language of the work is rich with archaisms and complex syntactic constructions, giving the text a sense of antiquity and historical authenticity. Literary techniques used by Tolkien include extensive descriptions, the creation of complex and multi-layered characters, and the use of elements of epic poetry.
