Life And Blogs

I have not blogged for the last few hours because we have attended a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the courtyard of Lancaster Castle. Previously, we have seen this play three times in Williamson Park, Lancaster, twice as a "promenade," walking around to see scenes in different parts of the Park. Other promenades in the Park have included The Tempest.

I mention this both to show life going on outside the blog and also because these two Shakespeare plays are relevant to Poul Anderson's A Midsummer Tempest - and are a main parallel between Anderson's works and Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. (The second image shows the ornamental lake in Williamson Park.)

Meanwhile, in relation to Anderson's futuristic science fiction, the previous three posts on this blog and the previous two on the companion blog, Poul Anderson's Cosmic Environments (see here) have focused on "Hunters of the Sky Cave." Further, we have yet to exhaust "Hunters..." and, when we have done so, will proceed to other installments of the Captain Flandry series.

Not as yet having any new Anderson-related material to read is helping me to realize how much can still be said about works that have already been discussed.
