JRR Tolkien & his Lierary Resonances is from the same publisher & has contributions by most of the same people. Tom Shippey has a piece in it. its as the title implies - basically showing how Tolkien was influenced by various trends in literature from earlier periods - I've made it sound boring now, haven't I?

Its definitely worth reading, but I'd get it from the library before you decide whether to buy. There's a good review on Amazon.
