Tolkien was sending letters back and forth with Rayner Unwin, debating titles.
He shared with Unwin thatbook one ofLotRcould be calledThe Shadow GrowsorThe Return of the Shadow.
This darkness proved how hopeless the quest was meant to seem.
The two had discussed the titles at length, and Tolkien was concluding in this meeting in his letter.
Tolkien had struggled to title individual volumes for his book.
