If you were to ask the "Man in the Street" who JRR Tolkien was they'd tell you he was the Lord of the Rings guy. Ask the same guy who Edmund Wilson was and you'd get "Edmund who?" ;^)

"Edmund who?"

Exactly!! Even if you don't enjoy Tolkien's work as much as I do, you haveta admit he was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. And to dismiss his genius as "juvenile trash" is simply ridiculous, openly displaying the Detractor's hostility to a good story about Good Triumphing Over EVIL!!

FReegards...MUD

BTW...if you go down the list of infamous Tolkien-Haters you'll see that every one of them is an admitted Lib'ral DemonRAT!!
