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.
