Prolific, popular and critically acclaimed, Michael Moorcock is the most important British fantasy author of his generation. His Elric of Melnibone is an iconic figure for millions of fans but Moorcock has also been a pioneer in science fiction and historical fiction. He was hailed as the central figure of the "New Wave" in science fiction, and has won numerous awards for his fantasy and SF, as well as his "mainstream" writing. This first full-length critical look at Moorcock's career, from the early 1960s to the present, explores the author's fictional multiverse: his fantasy tales of the "Eternal Champion"; his experimental Jerry Cornelius novels; the hilarious science-fiction satire of his "End of Time" books; and his complex meditations on 20th century history in Mother London and the Colonel Pyat tetralogy.

Recensioner i media

The young Moorcock made his name with vivid short novels in which doomed swordsmen strutted around surreal landscapesMoorcock produced a staggering amount of work over a long careerScroggins does a remarkable job of disentangling the connections between Moorcock at his most pulpy and his most serious-minded, to the extent that, whether channeling Dickensian or a Modernist spirit, the Eternal Champion continues to lurk behind his elegant proseTimes Literary Supplement; Incisive, illuminating and full of good sense, Mark Scroggins stimulating book told me a lot about my own work! Thanks!Michael Moorcock; comprehensive, interesting and complex studyRobots & Dragons.
