You make a good point. I do mention both Lieber and Howard in the blog (and a little more in the older blog to which I link). Moorcock is important, and interesting I agreeL do we read him primarily as a sword/sorcery Lieber-esqe writer, or more as someone who deliberately sets out to write the kind of Fantasy he felt Tolkien was not (that is, writing the stuff that repudiated all that conservative epic-Pooh crap [as he saw it]) … in the latter case he seems to me still in a Tolkienian tradition, just as eg GRR Martin is.
