Best Tolkien criticism? Can't Post
What do you all think are the best works of Tolkien criticism?

After a lifetime of reading Tolkien, I finally decided to read some Tolkien criticism - specifically, Tom Shippey's "JRR Tolkien: Author of the Century." Before this, the closest I've come is reading Christopher Tolkien's editorial notes in the various volumes of the legendarium. I'm loving Shippey's book, and now I'm curious to see what else out there is worthwhile. Any suggestions?
