I know Tolkien's masterpiece of the Lord of the Rings was a "made up" time in History. I remember reading something about C.S. Lewis writing on space-travel, and Tolkien writing on time-travel.

But if LOTR was in a real time, and it was a real story, what time period would it be in? I have been wondering about this for a while. When would the story actually have taken place?
