I would quote, but my computer is being recalcitrantly SLOW in producing the archive of this thread. Anyway, I think it's Bill Ferny who came up with the following distinction: "edit: changed 'Tolkien's book as the greatest of the century' to 'Tolkien's corpus as the greatest of the century'."
Bill, this is a valuable distinction. It clarifies the debate in a way I have not seen until now. Is it original with you?
