The Dragon Ouroboros - Illustrated: The Professor's Bookshelf #7
THE PROFESSOR'S BOOKSHELF #7: THE DRAGON OUROBOROS'The Dragon Ouroboros' was first published in 1933 under the title 'The Worm Ouroboros'. Professor J.R.R. Tolkien read the story, and praised it in print, writing in a letter that he enjoyed Eddison's books 'for their sheer literary merit'. Eddison, he stated, was 'the greatest and most convincing writer of invented worlds' he had ever read. Tolkien's close friend and confidante C.S. Lewis was also an admirer, opining that 'no writer can be said to remind us of Eddison'. This heroic high fantasy novel is often compared with Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', which was written many years later.…

Über den Autor
Eric Rücker Eddison, CB, CMG (24 November 1882 - 18 August 1945) was an English civil servant and author, writing under the name E.R. Eddison. Eddison is best known for the early romance The Worm Ouroboros (1922) and for three volumes set in the imaginary world Zimiamvia, known as the Zimiamvian Trilogy: Mistress of Mistresses (1935), A Fish Dinner in Memison (1941), and The Mezentian Gate (1958). These early works of high fantasy drew strong praise from J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and later, Ursula K. Le Guin. Tolkien generally approved Eddison's literary style, but found the underlying philosophy rebarbative; while Eddison in turn thought Tolkien's views soft. Other admirers of Eddison's work included James Stephens, who wrote the introduction to the 1922 edition; Robert Silverberg, who described The Worm Ouroboros as the greatest high fantasy of them all; and Clive Barker.
