When assaying Tolien's works, one has to remember that Tolkien wrote with a distinct style that mimicked a lot of tales from norse and celtic and saxon folk stories. Before being a writer of his own fiction, he was a scholar of these languages and translated several stories from them. As a result, several of his own works, including most of the middle earth books are written in a similar primitive style.

My university offered a Tolkien Course that gave me an english credit, guess who has two thumbs and aced it, without having to re-read any of the books.

Nice. I had a similar course over the summer with the same results. hehe
It was actually a "writing intensive" credit called "enjoying literature."
Apparently every professor teaching the course could decide their own theme. Our class got very luck. I saw what the other classes were based on after I was already in this one. Of the ones I remember, there was modern law drama(lots of Grisham apparently) and Victorian romance. There were several others that were about as equally appealing, but I was fortunate enough to fall in to origins of modern fantasy.
