From Sub-Atomic Particles To Ghosts

Recently, the blogging experience has been enriched by comparisons of Poul Anderson's works with:

Robert Heinlein's Future History;
Karel Capek's and Isaac Asimov's robots;
Asimov's future history;
James Blish's Dirac pulses (connecting with the instantaneous interstellar teleportation in Anderson's The Enemy Stars);
CS Lewis' Ransom Trilogy.

Some comparisons are unexpected and even surprising. In fact, it has just occurred to me that:

Lewis' Company of Logres receives the revived Merlinus Ambrosius, then Ransom joins Arthur Pendragon and others on Venus;

there is a comparable, albeit technological, return of a legendary figure in Anderson's The Stars Are Also Fire, a return that I had previously compared here with a raising of the dead in Anderson's The Broken Sword.

The broad range of these comparisons displays the broad range of Anderson's works, covering, among many other topics:

future history;
Artificial Intelligence;
nuclear physics;
ghosts.
