Don't know if Tolkien had read Campbell, but Campbell had read Tolkien:

Quote:
'I met Campbell when he spoke to our English Department during a book tour and asked him what he thought of applying his theories from The Hero With A Thousand Faces to the fiction of Tolkien. He was encouraging, and my ideas for a myth-based study of Tolkien's fiction took shape.' Anne C Petty
(From an interview on TORN. Whole interview:http://greenbooks.theonering.net/tur...es/061304.html)

Petty also makes some very interesting points in regard to the issue we're discussing in the 'Dumbing us Down' thread on Movies. In fact, there's a link to another interiew Petty gave which I'll place on that thread....
