…conversion van, or some heavy metal album cover. They're rough, but alive in a way eg. Sanderson can only glimpse. Also, Gloriana was great (very different from Elric). In this vein, Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword is probably my favorite; it's direct and raw, like a bare knuckle punch in the face :).
"Indeed, I’ve probably already spent more time on the historical backstory of Broken Sword here than it deserves..." Not at all. What a great review of a beloved sub-genre. Sometimes I think about re-reading Foucault's Pendulum out of sheer joy at the memory. But then I usually get by with…
……在托尔金之前并不严格指代儿童童话。有很多它们登场的半流行早期作品，比如《衔尾蛇之虫》（The Worm Ouroboros）或《精灵王国之女》（The King of Elfland's Daughter）。波尔·安德森出版《折断的宝剑》也是在《魔戒》出版的同一年，它展示了许多相同的受影响元素，只是出自一位风格迥异的作者之手。托尔金的重要性在于，他所描写的那些特定生物成为了事实上的默认标准……
…strictly mean children's fairy tales prior to Tolkien. There's plenty of semi-popular prior art where they feature, like the Worm Ouroboros or The King of Elfland's Daughter. Poul Anderson also published The Broken Sword the same year as LOTR, which shows a lot of the same influences as written by a very different author. Tolkien's importance is that the specific kinds of creatures he wrote became the default for virtually…
…was the first instance of an author asking the question, "Can fantasy be written which is not a direct copying of _The Lord of the Rings_?" and it is interesting to contrast it with texts such as _The Broken Sword_ by Poul Anderson (first published the same year as _The Fellowship of the Ring_) and _The Charwoman's Shadow_ by Lord Dunsany (published nearly 3 decades earlier).
……改装箱型车，或是某些重金属专辑封面。它们很粗砺，但有一种鲜活的生命力，比如桑德森（Sanderson）就只能望其项背。另外，《格洛丽安娜》（Gloriana）也很棒（和《埃里克》大不相同）。从这个路数来看，波尔·安德森（Poul Anderson）的《折断的宝剑》（The Broken Sword）大概是我的最爱；直接、粗粝，就像迎面吃了一记不戴拳套的狠拳 :)。

“确实，我在这里花在《折断的宝剑》历史背景上的时间，大概已经超出了它应得的篇幅……” 完全没有！对这一深受喜爱的亚类型来说，这是一篇多么出色的评论啊。有时候我甚至想仅仅为了重温那份回忆而重读一遍《福柯的摆》。但后来我通常也就看看……

……是第一次有作家提出这个问题：“能不能写出不是直接抄袭《魔戒》的奇幻小说？” 将它与诸如波尔·安德森的《折断的宝剑》（与《护戒使者》同年首次出版）以及邓萨尼勋爵的《女佣的影子》（早了近 30 年出版）等文本进行对比，是很有意思的一件事。
