:Hm... I have even less certainty about this one than I do about the previous questions. :) I think that there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but that one should be careful going about it. One possible pitfall is that literary analysis is often strongly rooted in opinion; I'd suggest making sure that you're either sticking to factual statements (pointing out objective similarities between Dune and other works of high fantasy, for example) or making sure to couch it in terms like "many scholars believe <blah>."

:This may be covered in the various faqs and Wikipedia policy pages that are scattered around, I haven't done much searching. But another way to find out the general consensus about whether such things are appropriate is to just do it and see whether anyone complains. :)
