I believe that Tolkein, in his own way, was every bit as talented as William Shakespeare. WS was a wordsmith and story plot virtuoso. JRRT was an imaginative story-telling virtuoso. That he created maps of the imaginary world, created languages, and cultures, and myths etc etc is simply mind-boggling.
