“The young Moorcock made his name with vivid short novels in which doomed swordsmen strutted around surreal landscapes…Moorcock produced a staggering amount of work over a long career…Scroggins 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 prose”—Times 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 study”—Robots & Dragons.
