But I thought Tolkein didn't intend any connections to the 'real world'.

But I am also confused. I think it's time for a well-read person with a copy of "Letters" to step in here... er Rian? Someone?

stuck in the middle
maybe middle earth is between the sundering seas, maybe its midgard, or maybe its the middle or at the center of the story. maybe middle earth is an attempt not to offend any one person from the east west south or north of real earth. maybe its only that simple? am i reaching too far?

I don't think you're reaching dragonlily, that's a good point. Maybe it's called Middle-earth because it represents something of each of us.
And welcome to Entmoot! Check out the newbies thread!
