Tolkien was a professor of Anglo-Saxon history at Oxford. He studied the only scraps of mythology that Britian has. Inspired by Beowulf (which I just read) and other great works, I believe he longed for more of a real, solid mythology for his native country. I also believe that he not only achieved creating this, but surpassed all other fantasy works of his time profoundly. How many of YOU agree with wat i have said.
