I am a little surprised at this because everythig I have read indicated [In reply to] Can't Post
JRRT was quite displeased with the whole "French" influenced romances of Arthur and did not consider Arthur's story grounded in the Anglo-Saxon world he was interested in (opponents historically). I wonder what this analysis will reveal if he dissects the works and roots them more in Britain etc. We will have to wait and see.
Much has been written and discovered since JRRT's time so it may be out of date.
