Is JRR Tolkien a legend?

Answer:

I think the introduction to the fellowship of the ring is a good answer to this:
"history became legend, legend became myth"...

I'd still call Tolkein history. When nobody is around who remembers him, and high school students debate whether he was one author like they do shakespear, he will have become legend.
