Gloriana
Gloriana: Or, The Unfulfill'd Queen | Michael Moorcock
2 posts | 5 read | 7 to read
In this spellbinding (The Sunday Times) award-winning fantasy, the vast empire of Albion is ruled by the beautiful and forlorn queen, Gloriana, who must battle against a nefarious scoundrel, Captain Quire, and a court soured by debauchery with her wits. First published in 1978, Gloriana is the award-winning story set in the alternate English kingdom of Albion that reimagines Queen Elizabeths reign. Bawdy, cruel, and brilliant, Gloriana has been awarded the World Fantasy Award and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction, and is often cited as one of the great works of speculative fiction and fantasy along the lines of J.G. Ballard, Thomas Pynchon, and Philip K. Dick.

“Gloriana is a sumptuous piece of literature:an important, unbridled, and passionate piece of art!”

One of my all-time favorite books 💖

Moorcocks lush, symbolic and controversial work was the first thing that sprang to mind with #LadyMadonna
