Yup, lots of things affected the way the Hobbit and LOTR was written. first, he didn't write LOTR until AFTER WWI, where he had more experience in battle and conquest, where in areas for the Hobbit was intended as a children's book. LOTR was perhaps aimed to a more mature audience because of such detailed description and intense vocabulary.
