But since the online version of the essay contains references to Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy, it's safe to say he revisted/updated it in the late 1990s, if not later. It appears he still stands behind what he wrote. Hi Bill, I don’t own Wizardry and Wild Romance so I can’t say how much the essay has changed over the years.

Do you happen to know if he ever revisited his thesis? It's been thirty years, I wonder if he's ever modified his position.

I've had this essay formulating for some time now. It was hard trying to parse out Moorcock's textual and literary criticism from the political screed running throughout the essay, but once I did, I felt like he mis-read The Lord of the Rings (and The Silmarillion) rather badly.
