EDIT: I should say that Murray fits my own theory of Tolkien's art very well, for more and more I see Tolkien inhabiting a place of art which I had previously come to know through another writer. You might also want to look at Roland Barthes' contrast of 'readerly' with 'writerly' texts, although that is not the form my argument takes. See Barthes, S/Z (1970).
