At this point, I feel like I've read a pretty good deal of fantasy, but I've come to realize that my experience with the genre does not extend back very far. Yes, I've read The Lord of the Rings, A Wizard of Earthsea, and most of the Amber series, but other than those, most of the novels I've read have been pretty recent. As such, I've wanted to dip my toes into some older works for awhile now and a chance stop at a local bookshop gave me the perfect opportunity. I found a used copy of the first of the Elric saga for a couple bucks and in great, if yellowed, condition and I couldn't resist. Overall, I really liked this novel. After reading so many bulky epic fantasy tomes, it was nice to pick up a book that was a bit shorter. The first Elric novel harkens back to the early 1970s when sword and sorcery novels were short, pulpy, and at the height of their reign. These were the novels, as much as Tolkien's, that inspired Dungeons and Dragons which, in turn, inspired generations of authors. And that's exactly how it felt, like I was reading a foundational novel. Elric of Melnibone is a tightly written story that is short and to the point, but does not lack for adventure. It truly was a fantastic tale that was full of magic and heroism. I really enjoyed how imaginative the story was. Elric is an interesting character too. He is the leader of his people, a race seemly beyond its golden age. Elric understands that they must change or be swept away with time and they resent him for it. He sees and feels things that his people cannot and he is alone because of it. Eventually, the resentment leads to a feud and a rollicking adventure ensues filled with magic ships, magic swords, a journey into the netherworld, and damsels in distress. What's not to like? I'm definitely looking forward to continuing the series.

I got into it because the post-colonial/feminist angle. I had political literary agenda. It was one of my 6 novels I read by my BA thesis. My focus was on her experience with Mr. Rochester and the Mad Woman in the Attic named Bertha Mason who is a Creole from Jamaica. I read it through the lens of Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea which is a post-colonial/feminist response which tells the story from Bertha's point of view, at some times poetically, and sometimes too politically. Despite my critical approach and knowing Jane Eyre was a melodramatic story, I felt the ending was moving. My reading is also informed by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar's anthology Madwoman in the Attic. ***PLOT SPOILER*** It demonstrate different types of love relationships. Mr. Rochester and Jane communicate after a year by concentration. We do that today. Have you ever been thinking heavily about someone and then they send you a text message or email "seemingly" out of the blue? I have and whenever it happens, I think of Charlotte Bronte's comment that people CAN communicate like that. Another example is with the missionary St John Rivers. After he held a sermon, his energy was so strong that Jane almost succumbed to him on the belief he loved her. But his sermon hadn't made his love stronger, just his convictions that she should do as he asked, that is, marry so they could go to Hindustan (India) together. Remember, she would happily have gone with him as a cousin, but not as a conjugal wife. But he wanted the wife to serve him. It's at this critical moment, she runs out and "hears" Mr. Rochester calling her from many miles away. Without or without Feminist or post-colonial readings, Jane Eyre offers a lot to the modern reader. Also of note: When did Mr. Rochester get his eye sight back? Strangely, after he had been humbled by Jane's love. What's his loss of eye sight and limp signify? castration. Proud, powerful Mr. Rochester had been blinded and crippled, and so at the end, it's the little "Plain Jane" Eyre whose strong will triumphs in the end. It begins with her having nothing and no home, and ends with her being 30, a strong mother and wife, and independent spiritual center. It's got a lot of good things to it. See, it's really about Triumph of the Will. And a famous German documentary was inspired by Jane's struggle, her Kampf. And Jane wanted to be an artist too. She like drawing. And who was the director? Leni Riefenstahl. That's right. A girl. A strong, independent minded girl who made 2 famous documentaries that shook the world.
