Except in personal essays where he examines his own construction.

JRRT wrote as the 'Translator' who had discovered the RED BOOK. This is self-evident and expressly stated in Hobbit and LOTR, (especially so in the Prologue and Appendices) as well as the Introduction to AOTB, and thus is essentially a character who has stepped into his own creation.
