I like his weird themes but i must say i enjoyed Corum early when there was a better balance of down to earth stories with Corum seeing what happened to his people in other castles and his own home. |
The Corum tales are much more on the "large themes" (I use quotation marks here because Moorcock has something to say about that by the end of the books), as is rather fitting, since they are based (often quite loosely) on older Celtic myths and legends. Moorcock used his fantasy of this period for tackling this sort of metaphysical and philosophical theme -- in part, a reflection of the times, I think....
