A Brief Guide to Pre-Tolkien Fantasy | Part II
For Part II, we'll take a look at the type of fantasy that was published in pulp magazines in the early 1900s. Here is what can perhaps be considered the beginnings of fantasy as a distinctive genre that has its own identity, with many of the tropes, styles, and subgenres that we know today already existing in some form before The Lord of the Rings had even come into print.

You've heard all about J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, but how about the stories of Lord Dunsany? Or E.R. Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros and Zimiamvia? Or Hope Mirrlees's Lud-in-the-Mist? As much as Tolkien gets credited as the father of fantasy, there were several authors in the decades prior to The Lord of the Rings who wrote comparable stories about magical, invented worlds. Without th...
We get it you think everyone is an -ist.
Seems your sensibilities may be too delicate to form a credible opinion.
I gotta say, I absolutely love The Night Land. It is so unapologetically weird. It revels in feeling anachronistic, with its king james bible style prose feeling just out of place for its contemporary readers as it does for us. The characters are weird, the writing is strange to say to the least, but it so imaginative. I've always imagined The Night Land as something that could be molded into a terrific tabletop setting.

There are many, but the Worm Ouroboros is definitely one of my favorite novels. There is an entire greek tragedy built into to sotry of Witch Land - delivered in prose, no less - that rivals any ancient story. Corinius may be both the most useless and most epic character ever created, and died maybe the most useless but epic death ever written. It''s such a work of genius that I have long thought about editing the work because there is plenty that is simply hard to read among all the incredible writing.
pretty cool
This is such a great video, tysm

I had been exposed to some of these authors through the Old-School Roleplaying Game scene, notably Dolmenwood by Necrotic Gnome cites a lot of these authors as inspiration. I tried diving into a few of these books like Gormenghast, The King of Elfland's Daughter, and some smaller works. But I found them all pretty underwhelming
can we get the post Tolkien fantasy guide?
Morris's "The Sundering Flood" is in a different world and is one of the first fantasy novels with its own map.
You are absolutely cooking
Night Land is pure anime
a sequal to a personal favorite. YAY!!!
YEEES IM SO HAPPY! I watched the first one like 2 seconds ago and thought “god I hope part 2 is out…” and WOOOOOO WE’RE BACK! WE ARE SO BACK!
Mh.
Доля гірка як кінець огірка це розйоб🎉
Bro really said and i quote, Fjounder of Fjantasy 💀💀💀
i opened this to play on the background while i clean my apartment just to end up taking notes. this is so good, i'll definitely check bibliography. keep it up man
The wise sage returns
12:41 Isn't it pronounce "Day-gon"? That's how I always heard it.
I cannot overstate my appreciation for this series. I had been reading up on Lovecraft's contemporaries for inspiration for ideas for world building and other things. Having a curated list of authors with added context to their work is immeasurably helpful to this end. I'm happy that I now know of authors such as Mervyn Peake and Poul Anderson now and can read their books. I hold vast respect for your research of these foundational stories.
Shotgunned the whole two parts rn. Really do want to expirment more. Already knew alot of pre fantasy and pulp. Read a few Clark of and kf Lovecraft. But now i know much more. Was wondering about how Don Quixote or thr King in Yellow would honestly fit in. Especially given the latter's influence on Lovecraft and his circle. Or you know. The the warhammer crowd and its beginings in its fantasy setting too. Or just more of Lin Carter
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I've been wanting to learn more about pulp era
God I can't listen to this voice.
L. Frank Baum's Oz series from 1900
Cyrano's "L'Autre Monde: les États et Empires de la Lune (The Other World: The States and Empires of the Moon", 1657
Also it's MER not MURE so MERcury
The way you said founder makes my brain itch 😂
Great video, awful thumbnail 😬
yessir
The weird of pulp worlds fantasy
Please don’t try to do accents
I’m astounded by how many of these names you mispronounce
Tolkien stole from king Arthur Legends and Norse Mythology and gets a lot of their credit.
Two videos, 5k subs, almost 300k views. Keep up the good work.
This video keeps showing up in my recommended. The thumbnail reads “Fantasy Before Books: The Lord of the Rings” I think a bit more spacing between the text on the thumbnail would’ve been much better
Amazing. Both this and part I are excellent and so comprehensive! You mentioned Moorcock and you included a cover of a Zelazney book, "the new wave" of the 60's and 70's... Two of my favorites. For matter, I wonder what's your take on the Dark Souls video games, since you mentioned Japanese fantasy. Anyway, looking forward to more of your excellent videos. Thank you!
>be me first video >"this guys voice is gay i'm not going to watch this" >be me second video >"let's fucking goooooo"
As a kid I read a Danish Series from the late 1980-90s It is called 'Alex på eventyr' (Adventures of Alex) and is set in 'present day Denmark' but present day at the time. I call it my introduction to fantasy, urban fantasy, and Sci-fi ^_^ I cant decide on the actual genre, and it isnt important for me ;)
I wonder how easy it is to get Lord Dunsanys stories as Audiobooks (probably easy)
Based Burroughs! 😎👍
The Weird of Worlds Pulp Fantasy?
The lord of the rings trilogyyyyy. That turned out to be a cash cowwwww. The decided to get some money for themselvesssss.
I'd like to ask, is there a single author here who is wholeheartedly not inclined to racism and rape?
This is epic
>make pulp fiction to make communism look bad >name the good guys KKK >author is a racist confederate veteran classic
too much anglo-saxon bias here, there's loads of writing that truly predates this stuff.
It doesn't count until white man says so, apparently
Eddison hating on fascism only to propose an anarcho-capitalist reactionary return to medieval Iceland is hilarious. He's just as fascist, just a different fascism is all.
