'The Sword of Welleran was greatly admired by Robert E.In his storm-causing aspect, Slid resembles the Maia Osse both are described as 'exulting' or 'rejoicing' when raising a storm. Tolkien's Ulmo is described in very similar terms to Dunsany's Slid, whose soul is by the sea and whose voice is in all waters and all who hear that call must wander until they at last reach the sea.Neil Gaiman's Stardust shows certain similarities with The King of Elfland's Daughter and echoes Dunsany's phrase 'the lands we know'.HP Lovecraft was a great admirer of Dunsany's early work and his Dream Cycle is clearly influenced by Pegāna and Dunsany's own Dream Land tales.Le Guin dubbed him "the First Terrible Fate That Befalleth Unwary Beginners in Fantasy". The dreamlike prose of his early work is particularly addictive and frequently imitated by those who read him. His works vary greatly in tone and style, which is particularly apparent in a recent collection from Penguin that spans most of his career.ĭunsany's influence on later fantasy is usually overshadowed by JRR Tolkien (who himself cited Dunsany as one of his inspirations), but he was very famous in his day. Later in life, he wrote a variety of non-fantastic fiction, including the tales of Jorkens, a clubman who tells fantastic tales but always loses the one bit of evidence that would prove the tales were true, and Smethers, a little man with a little business and a most peculiar roommate.ĭunsany also wrote many plays, which seem to be mostly forgotten, much like his other work. He later wrote a great deal of fantasy, including The King of Elfland's Daughter and many many short stories.
He first became famous for The Gods of Pegana, a collection of supershort stories about a set of fictional gods who created the Worlds.
