How the Quenta Adds to the Sketch

My next couple of readings demonstrate well the additions/revisions made to the Sketch by the Quenta. Clearly the story was growing in Tolkien's mind even just a few short years after penning the Sketch. In sections 8 and 9 the Sketch lays out the following:

• Death of Fëanor
• Arrival of the other Gnomes (and sun)
• Rescue of Maidros
• Manwë's creating/sending of the Eagles
• The watch on Angband
• The breaking of the siege and retreat of Elves and Men
• Celegorm and Curufin's founding of Nargothrond

All takes place in about 5 paragraphs that cover two pages. Here's where the Quenta takes the story:

• Greater detail of the First Battle and Death of Fëanor
• More detail on the betrayal, capture, and torture of Maidros
• The arrival of Fingolfin, Finweg (Fingon), and Felagund
• More details on Finweg's rescue of Maidros aided by Manwë's Eagles
• Where each of the Elves settled in to watch Angband
• Introduction of the Dwarves into the story: "They are not friend of Valar or of Eldar or of Men, nor do they serve Morgoth; though they are in many things more like his people, and little did they love the Gnomes" (p. 104, The Shaping of Middle-earth). The Dwarves are no longer servants of evil; but they don't appear to be much better!
• Men wander West
• Discovery of Men by Felagund and friendship between the Eldar and Men
• The Breaking of the Siege of Angband (with more detail)
• Introduction of Thû
• Barahir's rescue of Felagund and their oath
• Felagund's founding of Nargothrond (later his brother Orodreth and his friends Celegorm and Curufin retreat their)
• The Dual of Fingolfin and Morgoth

All told this takes place over 6 pages of book space with all of the added detail, revised stories, and new stories added in. I enjoy seeing the legend grow!
