There has been no renaissance in middle earth. There were no newspapers, no fast way to print documents. Information was slow to spread and there was no public education. It's quite safe to say that most teenagers living today are far smarter than most men living in middle earth. Middle earth is also at constant war with orcs and the many wild beasts running around. One would think that the elves would have developed some way to paint beautiful paintings but I think the reason they don't is because....there is little fiction within the fiction so the speak.
