The LOTR was simply NOT written as a mythology for the UK. Sorry but it simply is not true. It was written, at the request of his publisher as a sequel to the Hobbit. The fact he started to ape the style of the Silmarillion by the half way point does not change this. As to the latter point. Sorry but you are simply making suppositions to support your defence of the style change. The book makes it pretty clear that when Frodo hands the book to Sam it is nearly complete. Can you see Sam editing his beloved master’s words? No, not easy is it. However it is attempted to be justified, Tolkien wanted the book to appear as written by the Hobbits. The greater proportion of this was by Frodo. The style changes GREATLY and inexplicably.
