He didn't try to be groundbreaking or modern or new, yet LotR is one of the most original conceptions ever. It reminds me also of Bach (believe it or not): where nothing is new but the notes themselves, yet his compositions are ten times more striking and original than the composers who were considered more "modern" and "new" at the time.
