I really could care less what those scholars think of Tolkien and his works, it really doesn't matter. Just because his works are so widely and diversely appreciated and enjoyed is no reason to be jealous of him and envy him. His success is not the fault of their lack of success. And if one in a thousand reads thier literature and the rest go for Tolkien's, then there's a reason for it.
