Understood. And Poul Anderson almost ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Understood. And Poul Anderson almost certainly must have read some of Davidson's works. They were near contemporaries, after all. And Avram Davidon was even the editor of THE MAGAZINE OF SF AND F for two years in the 1960's--meaning he may well have accepted some of the Anderson stories we saw there.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Thanks!<br /><br />And I believe Avram Davidson, at his best, is very much worth reading. My favorites being the stories he set in the evocatively named Triune Monarchy of Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

The authors list has been extended.

But I certainly did not mind!<br /><br />I took a look at the list of authors you linked to. And I agree Poul Anderson MUST have read at least some of the works of most of these authors. I do wish you had included Dante Alighieri in it. Since mention is made of Dante, I think, in OPERATION CHAOS, it's reasonable to think Anderson had read a translation of the DIVINE COMEDY.<br /><br />Another writer I like is Avram Davidson. I have wondered if he ever read his collection THE ADVENTURES OF DR. ESZTERHAZY? I like to think PA also enjoyed those stories.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
