I'd suggest reading some Icelandic Sagas, the Eddas, the Kalevala, Beowulf & the Mabinogion if you want to see blatant plagiarism on Tolkien's part - in fact, some of it is so blatant you can't believe he had the gall - luckily for him, the stuff he stole was out of copyright....
Of course, when its Tolkien we talk about 'sources' & 'influences' & stuff.....
(check my sig...)
