Tragic news, Christopher Tolkien, third and last surviving son of the legendary J. R. R. Tolkien, has died at 95. RIP. He drew the original maps featured in The Lord of the Rings, and posthumously edited and published his father's unreleased work like The Silmarillion.

In memory of Christopher John Reuel Tolkien (21 November 1924 – 15/16 January 2020)

Thank you for your hard work on collecting and editing your father works ... from “The Silmarillion” to “the Fall of Gondolin”

I couldn’t find any words to express my sadness of losing you.

RIP

Christopher Tolkien has died

JRR Tolkien's son worked diligently to bring us the Silmarillion and related Middle-earth texts

But he also repackaged material in multiple commercial releases and published drafts JRR did not want seen

Where does Tolkien scholarship go from here?
