Child, please help. I confess to being one of those people who sees no Anglo-Saxon, but plenty of Celtic, in The Silmarillion. The Elves strike me as much more akin to the Tuatha de danaan than to anything remotely having to do with Englishness, primordial or otherwise. Goldberry and Tom Bombadil, NOT found in the Sil, feel far more English to me.
Please be so kind as to provide specific examples of how the Sil is Anglo-Saxon. Thank you.
