Aye, but that is not the heart of Moorcocks oeuvre! He also wrote lots of progressive and experimental stuff. He also edited the SF quarterly New Worlds. It published works in that vein, but was not very successful financially. I read that when the need for money would grow too great, Moorcock would lock himself in with a bottle of spirit and a typewriter, and hack out a pulp novel to get back into the black. He could be much wealthier now if he was in it just for the money, so it seems there is some real artistic claim here.
