Michael Moorcock: Biography from Answers.com

Moorcock is well regarded, however, both for the quality of his writing and the sincerity of his approach.
. . .
Attracted by both the freedom and the marketability of science fiction, he began contributing stories to magazines, including "The Stealer of Souls," which introduces his character Elric.
. . .
As Oakes noted, "Moorcock strikes me as the most prolific, probably the most inventive and without doubt the most egalitarian writer practising today." In an interview with Ian Covell for Science Fiction Review, Moorcock spoke about his literary philosophy: "I'm attempting all the time to find equilibrium between unchecked Romanticism ("Chaos") and stifling Classicism ("Law")....
. . .
Killheffer also noted, "It's devilishly hard to convey [the series'] substance in any kind of traditional summary."After years between books in the saga of Elric the Eternal Man, Moorcock decided to return to his hero.
. . .
Moorcock considers four "Jerry Cornelius" novels—The Final Programme, A Cure for Cancer, The English Assassin, and The Condition of Muzak: to be a single work.
. . .
The trick is to look at them from as many different ways as possible.""Even my fantasy novels are inclined to deal with moral problems rather than magical ones," the writer added.

Moorcock, indeed, makes much use of the initials "JC", and not entirely coincidentally these are also the initials of Jesus Christ, the subject of his 1967 Nebula award-winning novella Behold the Man, which tells the story of Karl Glogauer, a time-traveller who takes on the role of Christ.

As editor of the controversial British science fiction magazine New Worlds, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States.

When Hari Kunzru met Michael Moorcock | Books | The Guardian

I think I was thirteen or so when i read The Final Program and I laughed out loud when the penny dropped!
. . .
I've tried to write much of it in a sub-Wodehousian style and with a musical comedy sub-plot involving a game that's a mixture of cricket and archery." In its skewed, carnivalesque Englishness, this sounds like vintage Moorcock.
. . .
She was basically saying, for God's sake don't give him any more.
. . .
In the early 80s, when Moorcock was living in LA, he wrote Ballard a series of long descriptive letters about the city, which were later published as Letters from Hollywood.

Michael Moorcock – Elric of Melniboné | Barbariana

I was utterly disappointed by this and what made it even worse was that Moorcock’s fantastic writing style of the first story had completely vanished.
. . .
From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the colour of bone, resting on each arm of a seat which has been carved from a single, massive ruby.[2] This style achieves and maintains a weird and foreign feel about everything you read.
. . .
I bookmarked it and probably will use it for reference when writing future articles about Moorcock’s stories.
. . .
Picture reference Scan from Michael Moorcock: Elric of Melniboné (The Eternal Champion, vol.
. . .
As if nothing happened in the first story, he’s just wandering around, somewhere completely different and the problems and people he encounters have nothing to do with any of the open endings in the first story.
. . .
So at the end of this story, I thought I’d read something similar in the next one: weird language, over-the-top dramatic twists, that sort of thing.

Tolkien, and his fellow "Inklings" (the dons who met in Lewis's Oxford rooms to read their work in progress to one another), had extraordinarily ambiguous attitudes towards Romance (and just about everything else), which is doubtless why his trilogy has so many confused moments when the tension flags completely.

Tolkien while simultaneously demonstrating his own political immaturity at the time.

The Return of the King, 1955 Tolkien does, admittedly, rise above this sort of thing on occasions, in some key scenes, but often such a scene will be ruined by ghastly verse and it is remarkable how frequently he will draw back from the implications of the subject matter.

Moorcock in music Moorcock collaborated with the British rock band Hawkwind on many occasions: The Hawkwind track "The Black Corridor," for example, included verbatim quotes from Moorcock's novel of the same name, and he worked with the band on their album Warrior on the Edge of Time.
. . .
He is also the former husband of Jill Riches, the illustrator, who later become Robert Calvert's wife.
. . .
He has been writing ever since and has not surprisingly produced a huge volume of work.

Starship Stormtroopers

His books are full of anarchists -- some of them very bizarre like the anarchist aesthetes of The Centauri Device.
. . .
And just because many of Heinlein's characters are soldiers or ex-soldiers I don't automatically assume he must therefore be in favour of war.
. . .
I kept finding that supporters of the Angry Brigade were enthusiastic about Heinlein, that people with whom I thought I shared libertarian principles were getting off on every paternalistic, bourgeois writer who had ever given me the creeps!
. . .
There is Brian Aldiss with his Barefoot in the Head vision of an LSD 'bombed' Europe almost totally liberated and developing bizarre new customs.
. . .
Most of it warns the world of 'decadence' in its contemporaries and the alternatives are usually authoritarian and sweeping -- not to say simple-minded.
. . .
In the final analysis it is a kind of easy-going militarism favoured by the veteran professional soldier -- the chain of command is complex -- many adult responsibilities can be left to that chain as long as broad, but firmly enforced, rules from 'high up' are adhered to.
