Tolkien was hardly up-to-date for even the 1940s or 1950s, he lived in the past and his ME. So I would imagine that they would be very similar, although some of his themes (Destruction of the countryside, war) are even more desperate right now. As for his writing style, I shouldn't think it would be any different either, they had slang back then which he didn't use.
