I don't really know if it helps, but Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey believes that Tolkien deliberately designed Frodo, Bilbo and the other hobbits to be more modern than the rest of the races in Middle-earth, so that they might stand as "translators" or "gateways" between the ancient, mythic world of Middle-earth and the readers in the present.

Sure sure. And even if it weren't so it's hard not to notice their Englishness or the deep England fantasia that is the Shire, or the tonal difference between Hobbits and men, dwarves, elves, etc, and even tonal differences between hobbits. And very interesting in this context definitely.
