And the reason they are not like Aelf is he made the Aelf into dwarves.As for the others, I haven't read Sanderson or Dunsany, but I have studied lots of other fantasy literature. You can always trace the origins of ideas back. And pretty much all fantasy writers openly acknowledge this. If you know any who claim otherwise, I would like to see a quote from them as evidence."New" means putting a fresh coat of paint on something old. The same as it has always done.In what way am I "twisting" the quote? It's meaning is perfectly clear. It means what it says it means.You didn't actually "respond" to my previous post, apart from with unsubstantiated insults.</blockquote>
