    The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]

    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

Miranda has just separated from her husband, and is searching for diversion. Writing a series of investigative articles for the local paper gives her a wonderful excuse to pry into the sordid life and grisly death of Valda, the mooncalf's mother, a junkie who expired during an illegal abortion. Valda and Miranda are distantly related and so, it turns out, are several other women who have been impregnated by the father of Valda's misbegotton babe, a shadowy monster who rapes and sodomizes his victims.

    The Evolution of Modern Fantasy From Antiquarianism to the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series Jamie Williamson palgrave macmillan x PREFACE some cohesion. On the other hand, this approach tends toward oversim­ plification and breeds a kind of tunnel vision. One area which that tunnel vision has largely eliminated from consid­ eration in histories of fantasy has been the narrative poetry, some quite long, of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: work that engaged similar subject matter, identifieditself with similar areas of premodem and tradi­ tional narrative, and was widely read by many of the writers of the BAFS Introduction canon. Another area, not neglected but needing some refinement of per­ spective, has to do with those "epics and romances and sagas": they are gen­ erally alluded to rather indiscriminately as stufffrom (vaguely) "way back Charting the Terrain then." But modern access to these works is via scholarly editions, transla­ tions, epitomes, and retellings, themselves reflectingmodern perspectives; to readers of two centuries ago, the medieval Arthurian romances seeing print forthe first time were as new as Pride and Prejudice. My contention is that what we call modern fantasywas in facta creative extension of the he coalesc�ce of fantasy-thatcontem or ry l ter cat go y wh s _ _ r, � � �,:, � � � : antiquarian work that made these older works available.

    Subcreation: Building Imaginary Worlds

    A Proposal for Subcreation: Building Imaginary Worlds Mark J. P. Wolf Communication Department Concordia University Wisconsin 12800 North Lake Shore Drive Mequon, WI 53097 [email protected] (262) 243-4262 PROSPECTUS Originally coined by J. R. R. Tolkien, the term “subcreation” is used to distinguish human creation from God’s ex nihilo creation, indicating its reliance on the latter through the “sub” designation (literally “creating under”). “Subcreation” also refers both to the process and product of world-building, while avoiding philosophically slippery terminology like “real” and “imaginary”, which tend to be seen as mutually exclusive domains. Tolkien’s work built on the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and George MacDonald, and this book builds on all these author’s work, as well as later authors like Lin Carter, Thomas Pavel, Lubomir Doležel, Marie-Laure Ryan, and others who have paved the way for the study of imaginary worlds. Subcreation: Building Imaginary Worlds, then, is a book-length study of the theory and history of imaginary worlds, including those of literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the World Wide Web, and other media, and considers these worlds as distinct objects in themselves. Whereas most approaches in Media Studies are medium-specific or narrative-specific, this book is world-centered in its approach, while still taking issues of narrative and media into consideration. This book is divided into seven chapters, and arranged to set a foundation in the first three chapters before proceeding to explorations of particular aspects of imaginary worlds in the latter four. Chapter one attempts to define imaginary worlds and lays the groundwork for a theoretical description of how they operate, such as the way world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way in which worlds are experienced.
