I agree. When Tolkien wrote LOTR he put a lot of time in for research (didn't hurt that he was a college prof. either!!!) and covered all the bases. Beowolf, Mythology, Lore, Legend, and other cultural ideals all were thrown into the pot now know as the LOTR we all know and love!! Even if she never had even heard of LOTR it is quite possible she drew from the same sorces.
