フロド・バギンズ
Sale is also credited with being among the first literary critics to seriously discuss the work of J. R. R. Tolkien (which had been largely dismissed as "juvenile" and unworthy of analysis by most prominent critics, most notably Lionel Trilling). His essay "Tolkien and Frodo Baggins" appeared in "Tolkien and the Critics" (ed. by Neal Isaacs and Rose Zimbardo) in 1968.
