A literary collection of legends, particularly those detailing the life of a saint. || (literature) The collected high fantasy writings of J. R. R. Tolkien relating to the fictional realm of Middle-earth and the universe in which it is set.
Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these writings.
Roverandom and Smith of Wootton Major, like The Hobbit, borrowed ideas from his legendarium.
The most developed of these are Quenya and Sindarin, the etymological connection between which formed the core of much of Tolkien’s legendarium.
