This essay collection fills a critical gap by examining Fritz Leiber and his work from an academic perspective. Examined here are the role of civilization in Leiber's work; the evolution of Our Lady of Darkness; the concept of time; death, rebirth and existentialism; feline characters; sexual desire; his gothic and weird tales; eccentricity in Leiber's poems; the theme of power in the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser adventures; connecting threads, and important contrasts between Leiber and Lovecraft; and biblical influence.
Fritz Leiber: Critical Essays Reviews
-
I can't review this book since I am a contributor;-)
I received my Contributor's Copy about a month ago and it is a thrill, I admit, to see in physical reality my first appearance in an anthology of scholarship; and alongside such noteworthy scholars as S. T. Joshi, Robert H. Waugh and Bruce Byfield:-)
