Though I haven't read this work for a very good reason (I've read Ivanhoe).<BR/>The overriding feeling I have is one of 'futility' i.e. I mustn't get involved.<BR/>I say this with experience, and because such works interest me greatly, and my style in writing Sword mirrored this interest. But what I've found is that agents and literary consultants will not entertain writing like this, and openly discourage it (I take it this must filter back from editors and publishers) - 'cod-medieval' language as it is referred to. This is a disparaging description, make no mistake. <BR/>I do hope the whole discussion is about understanding and imagery, and not replication. As some agents said to me: they couldn't find a market for my stuff. Of course, I may just not have been good enough!esruelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835679794930788599noreply@blogger.com
