Individual stories

[edit]

Elric first appeared in print in a series of novelettes, novellas, and short tales, many of which were published in Science Fantasy magazine. The author later wrote a series of novels about Elric. The 2001-2005 trilogy featured Oona von Bek as well as Elric. The Elric stories have frequently been edited, retitled, and combined together with other material to form fix-ups as part of later republication campaigns, as described in the Collections setion below.

Collections

[edit]

The first five novelettes were originally collected in The Stealer of Souls (1963) and the later four novellas were first published as a novel in an edited version called Stormbringer (1965). The 1965 novel had about a quarter of the text removed for reasons of length (mostly in the second and third novellas) and the remaining text rearranged with new bridging material added to make sense of the restructuring.

In 1977, DAW Books republished Elric's saga in six books that collected the tales according to their internal chronology:

  1. Elric of Melniboné (Hutchinson 1972, cut vt The Dreaming City Lancer 1972 US; DAW 1977) ISBN 0-425-08843-X
  2. The Sailor on the Seas of Fate (Quartet 1976; DAW 1977) ISBN 0-441-74863-5
  3. The Weird of the White Wolf (collection, DAW 1977, contains "The Dream of Earl Aubec", "The Dreaming City", "While the Gods Laugh" and "The Singing Citadel") ISBN 0-441-88805-4
  4. The Sleeping Sorceress (NEL 1971; Lancer 1972 as The Vanishing Tower; DAW 1977) ISBN 0-441-86039-7
  5. The Bane of the Black Sword (DAW 1977, fixup of "The Stealer of Souls", "Kings in Darkness", "The Flame Bringers" and "To Rescue Tanelorn") ISBN 0-441-04885-4
  6. Stormbringer (cut, Herbert Jenkins 1965; restored and revised, DAW 1977, Berkeley 1984, fixup of "Dead God's Homecoming", "Black Sword's Brothers", "Sad Giant's Shield" and "Doomed Lord's Passing") ISBN 0-425-06559-6

Some subsequent collections grouped some of the stories together the same way the DAW versions did, and used the same titles for some of the groups. Although there were also cases where the same book title was used by multiple publishers for different collections of stories. The DAW paperbacks all featured cover art work by the same artist, Michael Whelan, and helped define the look of Elric and his sword Stormbringer. The DAW edition of Stormbringer restored some of the original structure and text compared to the 1965 release, but other revisions were performed and other material excised. A few oddments were collected in Elric at the End of Time (1984, ISBN 1-85028-032-0), which became the seventh book in the DAW line when they released it in the US in 1985. It includes two Elric-related tales: the title story and 1962's "The Last Enchantment", originally intended as the final Elric story but put aside in favour of those that eventually made up Stormbringer; it was not published until 1978.

In 1984, Nelson Doubleday / Science Fiction Book Club republished much of the Elric material then-available in The Elric Saga: Part One and The Elric Saga: Part Two. As new material was published, they expanded their collection with The Elric Saga: Part Three in 2002 and The Elric Saga: Part Four in 2005.

In the 1990s, Orion Publishing/Millennium released a two-book collection – Elric of Melniboné and Stormbringer – containing the Elric material then available. White Wolf Publishing released a similar two-volume compilation – Elric: Song of the Black Sword (1998) and Elric: The Stealer of Souls (2001). These two-volume compilations are arranged according to the internal chronology of the saga. The White Wolf text has minor revisions when compared to the Millennium release.

In 2001, Orion/Gollancz republished the first nine short stories, including the full text of Stormbringer as it appeared in Science Fantasy, in a single volume as Elric, volume 17 in the Fantasy Masterworks series.

From 2008 to 2010, Del Rey Books reprinted the material as a series of six illustrated books called Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melniboné:

  • Elric: The Stealer of Souls ISBN 0-345-49862-3
  • Elric: To Rescue Tanelorn (collects To Rescue Tanelorn, The Last Enchantment, Master of Chaos, The Singing Citadel, The Jade Man's Eyes, Elric at the End of Time, The Black Blade's Song (aka The Black Blade's Summoning), and some non-Elric stories.) ISBN 0-345-49863-1
  • Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress ISBN 0-345-49864-X
  • Duke Elric ISBN 0-345-49865-8
  • Elric in the Dream Realms (collects The Fortress of the Pearl, A Portrait in Ivory, and the script of the Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer graphic novel.) ISBN 0-345-49866-6
  • Elric: Swords and Roses ISBN 0-345-49867-4

The Del Rey series arranged the stories in the sequence they were originally published, along with related fiction and nonfiction material. The version of Stormbringer featured in this collection restored all the original material missing since the 1977 DAW edition – which had formed the basis for all later editions – as well as Moorcock's preferred versions of all the revised material in an attempt to produce a definitive text. These volumes present the evolution of the character through early juvenile stories, early fanzine musings by Moorcock, some Elric stories, some others introducing the reader to the wider "Eternal Champion" theme, stories of other heroes who coexist with Elric in the realm of Melniboné, unpublished prologues, installments of Moorcock's essay "Aspects of Fantasy", a 1970s screenplay, a reader's guide, notes from an Elric series that never developed, contemporary reviews, and appreciation essays by other writers.

From 2013-2018, Victor Gollancz Ltd. republished much of Michael Moorcock's back catalogue, presented in internal chronological order along with previously unpublished material, in both print and e-book formats. Eight volumes included Elric stories:

From 2019-2023, Centipede Press republished a limited edition run of 7 volumes with many of the Elric stories: Elric of Melniboné, The Fortress of the Pearl, The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, The Sleeping Sorceress, The Revenge of the Rose, Stormbringer, and The Dreamthief's Daughter.

The latest collection, from 2022, was by Saga Press, who republished a 4-volume collection of Elric stories:

The 2022 Saga Press collection is missing a few minor old Elric stories which don't affect the overall narrative: Elric at the End of Time, The Black Blade's Summoning, A Portrait in Ivory, and The Last Enchantment. The 2008-2010 Del Rey Books collection has all the old stories, but it's missing some of the newer stories: Red Pearls, White Steel, The Dreamthief's Daughter, The Skrayling Tree, and The White Wolf's Son. The 2013-2018 Victor Gollancz collection has all the old and new Elric stories except for Elric at the End of Time, plus all of the Elric collections are missing the 2023 story The Folk of the Forest (which is currently only available in New Edge Sword and Sorcery).[2][3]

By other authors

[edit]

Several other authors have written works about Elric.

Corum Jhaelen Irsei

[edit]

Corum (his name is an anagram of "Jeremiah Cornelius"; he was mentioned in an early list of Champion avatars as 'Corom Bannon Flurron') was the lead in a pair of trilogies and made appearances in several other books, notably The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, The Sleeping Sorceress and The Quest for Tanelorn.

The first trilogy, The Prince in the Scarlet Robe, consists of:

  • The Knight of the Swords (1971) sometimes referred to as Corum - The Knight of Swords: The Eternal Champion[5]
  • The Queen of the Swords (1971)
  • The King of the Swords (1971)

The three were first collected as The Swords Trilogy (1977) vt The Swords of Corum (1986)

The first and third volumes won the August Derleth Award and were adapted into a 12-issue comic series entitled The Chronicles of Corum (1986–88)

The second trilogy, The Prince with the Silver Hand, consists of:

  • The Bull and the Spear (1973)
  • The Oak and the Ram (1973)
  • The Sword and the Stallion (1974)

The three were first collected as The Chronicles of Corum (1978). The last volume also won the August Derleth Award while the first book was adapted into the 4-issue comic series Corum: The Bull and the Spear.

The first series, a tetralogy consists of:

These four volumes were later collected as The History of the Runestaff and adapted into a two issue comic series in 1986. The four novels were collected in two volumes in 2015 as Jewel and Amulet and Sword and Runestaff.

The Chronicles of Castle Brass is the second Hawkmoon series and forms a kind of culmination for the entire saga of the Eternal Champion:

  • Count Brass (1973)
  • The Champion of Garathorm (1973)
  • The Quest for Tanelorn (1975)

These three volumes were later collected as the box set/omnibus The Chronicles of Castle Brass.

Cornelius first appeared in a quartet of novels (TFP was initially published in parts in the magazine New Worlds):

After the third book a collection, The Lives and Times of Jerry Cornelius (1976), was released. The first edition included "The Peking Junction", "The Delhi Division", "The Tank Trapeze", "The Nature of the Catastrophe", "The Swastika Set-Up", "The Sunset Perspective", "Sea Wolves", "Voortrekker", "Dead Singers", "The Longford Cup" and "The Entropy Circuit". The 1987 edition includes "The Dodgem Division" as an epilogue. The 2004 edition replaced "Dead Singers", "The Swastika Set-Up", "The Longford Cup", "The Entropy Circuit" and "The Dodgem Division" with "The Spencer Inheritance", "The Camus Connection", "Cheering for the Rockets" and "Firing the Cathedral". The 1987 edition has been superseded by The New Nature of the Catastrophe, which includes its entire contents along with "The Murderer's Song", "The Gangrene Collection" and "The Roumanian Question". The paperback also included "All the Way Round Again", which had previously appeared as "The Enigma Windows" in Fabulous Harbours.

The next series of four short novels was collected as A Cornelius Calendar: The Entropy Tango (1981), The Adventures of Una Persson and Catherine Cornelius in the 20th Century (1976), The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (a.k.a. Gold Diggers of '77) (1980) and The Alchemist's Question (1984). The main sequence continued with Firing the Cathedral (2002), Modem Times 2.0 (2008) Cheering for the Rockets (2007), Pegging the President (2018), and The Wokingham Agreement (2022).

Moorcock's original story, "The Adventures of Jerry Cornelius" (co-written with M. John Harrison) also appeared in The Distant Suns (1975, with James Cawthorn). It was adapted as a comic in The New Nature of the Catastrophe, a volume of Cornelius stories by Moorcock and several others. Cornelius was also the lead of the five-issue comics series "Midnight Kiss" (2005). Moorcock's Doctor Who novel The Coming of the Terraphiles (2010) featured a Captain Cornelius.

Three short stories in the same setting ("Pale Roses", "White Stars" and "Ancient Shadows") were assembled as Legends from the End of Time (1976). This collection was released as an omnibus with a novel in the same setting, The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming (a.k.a.

Elric appeared with the Dancers in "Elric at the End of Time" (1981) and a new story, "Sumptuous Dress: A Question of Size at the End of Time" was published in the Summer 2008 issue of Postscripts. A 1993 edition from Millennium included the 3 short stories and the Elric addition, along with Constant Fire – which is not the original story but rather a revised chapter from The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming.

  1. ^ According to John Davey, Moorcock's editor and bibliographer: “The Citadel Of Forgotten Myths slots -- in terms of the overall saga’s internal narrative chronology -- between two novellas, ‘Kings In Darkness’ and ‘The Flame Bringers’, which fall just before the final volume, Stormbringer. This is despite cover text for Citadel… stating that it is “Taking place between the first and second book in the Elric Saga”.” [This comment was posted in 'The Many Worlds of Michael Moorcock' Facebook group by Guy Lawley on 07.12.2022.]
