So what do you all think of the new book on Tolkien? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm quite interested in it too because my area of specialisation is to a much greater extent the influence of modern literature on Professor Tolkien (especially William Morris) than the influence of medieval literature. Obviously medieval literature had a very big influence, probably the largest one, but we've all got to have our niche.

Having not had a chance to get hold of a copy yet, I'd also be curious to hear your thoughts Bêthberry.
