Out of print for nearly twenty years, Michael
Moorcock’s seminal study of epic fantasy, WIZARDRY & WILD ROMANCE,
is once more available. Newly revised, expanded and updated by the
author, this invaluable work analyzes the Fantasy genre from its
earliest beginnings in Medieval romances, on through the notable
practitioners like Howard, Lovecraft and Tolkien, and up to the
brightest lights in the field today. Insightful and often
controversial, this is a book every fantasy reader should have on
their shelf.
