E.R. Eddison
E.R. Eddison was a British author whose The Worm Ouroboros is one of the most extravagantly written works of secondary world fantasy, featuring a deliberately archaic, ornate prose style. Tolkien admired his work despite disagreeing with its morality. His Zimiamvia trilogy is equally ambitious.
