The good lady also confirmed my speculation that a great deal of scholars have personal grudges toward the works of Tolkien, because his stuff is actually being read by a variety of people, as many scholars' own works are gathering dust.

I'm fairly curious on how much of an impact she thought this had on academia as a whole. Does she think this has a major impact (e.g. on the false assumptions drawn from the popularity of the book) or minor(e.g. putting LOTR next to Terry Brooks <for lack of a better example>)?
