Fantasy or Moral Allegory?
[edit ]As an avid fan of James Branch Cabell's works, I cannot understand why they are regularly classified as works of "fantasy", rather than as works of moral allegory, as I believe they truly are, in the medieval tradition to which they very blatantly refer. Any views?--Gfglegal (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
- one procedural view: The "Fantasy Task Force" is one of few in WP:Novels, not many. I don't know the history but I know scads of archetypal science fiction novels are "claimed" for fantasy in this way, and not marked for the science fiction task force or project. Such claims aren't exclusive. --P64 (talk) 20:16, 27 December 2011 (UTC) [reply ]
pronunciation
[edit ]Does anyone know whether Jurgen is supposed to be pronounced in the German way (Jürgen) with a Y-sound or the English way with a J-sound? While the book is written in English, the eponymous character is not necessarily English. Did the author weigh in on this? WordwizardW (talk) 01:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
