The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save For Sacnoth - Lord Dunsany - Psychedelic Fantasy, Weird Fiction

The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save For Sacnoth - Lord Dunsany - Psychedelic Fantasy Short Story, Weird Fiction. The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories is the third book by Anglo-Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin, and others. It was first published in hardcover by George Allen & Sons in October 1908, and has been reprinted a number of times since. Issued by the Modern Library in a combined edition with A Dreamer's Tales as A Dreamer's Tales and Other Stories in 1917.The book is a series of short stories. One of the stories, "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save For Sacnoth", was afterwards (1910) published by itself as a separate book. The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories marked the end of Dunsany's writing about Pegāna and the beginning of a new phase of his career, in which he wrote heroic fantasies in a more modern style. Darrell Schweitzer states that this period included much of his best work. "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" was one of the chief influences on sword and sorcery fiction. Another important breakthrough was that Dunsany was writing short stores; heroic fantasy's forerunners were usually lengthy works.

This Dunsany content is gold!

Lord Dunsany becoming one of my favorites thanks to AGM Storytime.

[@ScullyPopASMR]

Storytime!

[@titaniumteddybear]

I am so sure that I read this as a kid. And I am also sure that books like this formed part of the inspiration for 'Dark Souls'.

[@Eibon_of_Iqqua]

Dunsany famously rarely did rewrites. Most of his published stories are first drafts. These days this would be known as 'writing by the seat of one's pants'. I have to admit I haven’t read much Dunsany, but what I have read comes across as the mad ramblings of a priveleged hobbyist whose status ensured his success. These days he would probably be self publishing on Amazon Kindle

[@AltrusianGraceMedia]

Well, what does it say about Lovecraft, Howard, Tolkien, etc touting Dunsany as a monumental influence to their work? I think if they were just mad ramblings, they would have been easily dismissed by said authors.

[@monadsingleton9324]

Lord Dunsany almost single-handedly forged the modern fantasy genre, so calling his stories 'mad ramblings' is a tad tasteless and ignorant, to say the least.
