Since the 15th century, popular devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel has centered on the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, also known as the Brown Scapular. They built in the midst of their hermitages a chapel which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, whom they conceived of in chivalric terms as the "Lady of the place." Our Lady of Mount Carmel was adopted in the 19th century as the patron saint of Chile.

So the market supplied more, until it became oversaturated with the same stuff, there were variants, sure, but most had the samey quality to it, lacking in much originality. Tolkien wasn’t the first to do heroic fantasy in a magical land, but he was the first to show it wasn’t a just niche thing to be enjoyed by children and nerds, and opened it up to the masses. No book genre is this more prevalent in than the fantasy genre. Fiction, like most things, goes through fades, you have the outliers which are a roaring success, both critically and financially, then years of copycatting will follow trying to capitalise on the original, to varying degrees of success.
