  1. Tolkien was born in S. Africa after his father, an English banker, was posted there. He returned to England at the age of three, grew up there and became a student at Oxford University. He fought in WWI and later became a professor of Anglo-Saxon himself at Oxford. He initially wrote academic books such as 'Beowulf: The Monster and the Critics', which I had to read when I was studying Anglo-Saxon at uni. He wrote 'The Hobbit' for his own children and it was later published in 1936. He worked on creating a whole lore, including languages, for Middle Earth for years after that and, yes, LotR, a fantasy book for adults, was published in 1954. He wrote it as a mythology for England, not America, because we lost much of our mythology after the Norman Conquest in 1066. His only connection with America is that LotR took off there before it did in the UK. American interest helped to popularise the book worldwide.
    He is the father of modern fantasy and every fantasy writer since Tolkien owes something to him. G R R Martin who wrote Game of Thrones acknowledges his debt but people like Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, do not, even though she borrowed so many of his ideas – and it shows. It's just such a pity that so many young people who watch the LotR films say things like: 'Gandalf is just like Dumbledore' rather than, 'Oh, so that's where she got the idea from.'

  2. No. Dune did NOT influence Tolkien. He was writing middle Earth stuff way before. And he disliked Dune immensely. The values it espouses are in many ways diametrically opposed to Tolkien’s.
