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 science fiction, 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; his hilarious science-fiction satire of his
End of Time
books; and his complex meditations on 20th-century history of Mother London and the Colonel Pyat tetralogy.
