Introductions III

Of the seven works listed in The Technic Civilization Saga, Volume II, David Falkayn: Star Trader by Poul Anderson (New York, 2010):

one is introduced by an extract from "Margin of Profit," collected in Volume I;

one is introduced by an extract from the diary of Urwain the Wide-Faring, recounting his meeting with Noah Arkwright;

three are introduced by Hloch of the Stormgate Choth in his Earth Book Of Stormgate;

one is introduced by a quotation from Shelley;

one is not introduced.

Thus, the net widens:

Hloch and Arkwright persist, although each appearance by Arkwright has been different;
two real literary quotations, from an Anderson short story and a Shelley poem, are used;
for the first time, one work is not introduced.

Urwain's introduction is effectively a separate story about Arkwright and I am not sure how it connects with the story that it introduces. I am going to have to look at the three Arkwright-related introductions in more detail.
