Very nicely curated emilien! Such a lovely array of pieces.
I just picked up another review piece - this time it's a review of ROTK from the June 1956 issue of The Month, by the scholar and critic Derek Traversi. It's a perceptive and elegantly written review.
The reviewer says that Tolkien "has created an imaginary world which strikes the reader as entirely true to the laws of its own being, untouched by any attempt to establish immediate parallels with the real world and yet variously true in its reflections upon human experience."
But what particularly struck me - considering that Tolkien is seen by many as the progenitor of modern fantasy - is this: "It is doubtful, indeed, whether the conditions which made such an achievement possible can be reproduced, or whether the work itself can serve as a model for future literary creations."
