Quote:I am entirely of German and Norwegian stock myself...
Ditto. Same northern European stock...

Quote:...though I do not write (or believe in) fairy tales that suggest these illiterate, savage and backward peoples (in ancient times that is), were the creators of a magnificent civilization as Tolkien would have us believe.
Nor do I believe in them. However, I think you are comparing the proverbial apple and the orange--two distinct concepts.

Creating (fantasy) myth and historical revisionism are completely different activities. Tolkien would never have intended that people regard his inspirational (in the heroic sense) tale to be mistaken for actual history.
