I think something could be written about how Tolkien went wrong on almost every possible count, shifting from tragedy to melodrama through excessive juxtaposition and explanation.
Well, I would certainly like to hear more about that.
Interesting to get the connection to the Germanic legends; I didn't know that. Thanks for asking about the story - I enjoyed writing about it (and not just because it was better than reading an OB textbook *g*).
