| | Edgar Rice Burroughs |
 | | Edgar Rice Burroughs' most famous works are the 24 books about Tarzan but he wrote many other works of popular fiction, including series about "Pellucidar", a world at the core or the Earth, and the "Barsoom" series about the adventures of John Carter on Mars. | | | Edgar claimed that this resulted in his never properly learning English but repeating the same Latin and Greek classes many times. | | | Edgar Rice Burroughs sold more than 100 million copies of his novels in 56 languages. |

| | 87.02.05: Would You Like to Swing on a Vine?: The Epic Tradition and Edgar Rice Burroughs |
| | ERB, as his legions of admirers refer to him, merely creates a hero, plunges this hero into a conflict of unknown proportions with antagonists of strange and unworldly description, and adds a love interest for his hero to further substantiate the notion of quest which is so prevalent and central to the epic tradition. | | | Burroughs’ success rests in the fact that he was a formula writer who took the same attributes of the epic tradition—violence, quest, and romance—and popularized them in fantastic stories written to entertain a reading public. | | | The purpose of this unit will be to explore the worlds of Edgar Rice Buttoughs through several of his works while paying particular attention to the genius of his imagination and his ability to relate a highly charged tale of adventure that includes multidimensional levels of quest—the same quests which formulate the epic tradition. |

| | Lansdale imitates Burroughs not at his best but at his worst. | | | Burroughs published his first Tarzan book, Tarzan of the Apes, in 1914, and, on average, hacked out about one Tarzan book every year until 1939. | | | Anyone toiling in the genre ought to have enough sense to write decently, so that at least these future writers won't be prematurely stunted. |

| | Edgar Rice Burroughs: At the Earth's Core |
| | As with other Burroughs novels, the only female of the inner world who appears in the novel is one calculated to arouse lust, if not love, in the Anglo-Saxon heroes. | | | Although Burroughs includes a plot in At the Earth's Core, it seems to exist as a mere formality. | | | The real raison d'etre for the novel is to provide a travelogue for the strange lands which exist in Burroughs's imagination and within the Earth's crust. |

| | Returning to the source material, it updated Burroughs’ original novel in the light of 1980s sensibilities and science, utilizing a number of corrective ideas first put forth by science fiction author Philip José Farmer in his mock-biography Tarzan Alive. | | | The stories featured Tarzan in contemporary Africa, a popular theme being his fighting against the Mau Mau in 1950s Kenya and single-handedly crushing their revolt several times over. | | | In Israel in the 1950's and early 1960's there was a thriving industry of locally-produced Tarzan adventures published weekly in 24-page brochures by several competing publishing houses, none of which bothered to get any authorization from the Burroughs estate. |

| | Amazon.com: A Princess of Mars (Mars (del Rey Books Numbered)): Books: Edgar Rice Burroughs |
| | Although Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is justifiably famous as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes, that uprooted Englishman was not his only popular hero. | | | Burroughs' straightforward, fantastic style of writing only loses momentum when dealing with various goofy Martian names, but that's a problem I have with any sci-fi book that gets carried away with minutiae like that. | | | John Carter is able to take advantage of the Red Planet's lesser gravity to do great feats of leaping about, but it is his innate intelligence and intense sense of personal honor that make him almost idealistically noble. |

| | Edgar Rice Burroughs |
| | Well before the age of the multimedia corporation, Edgar Rice Burroughs was a multimedia corporation unto himself. | | | In that year, Burroughs had his first literary success with the pulp novel Under the Moons of Mars, featuring the hero John Carter, who would go on to do battle with Martians in another 10 books. | | | With the Martian books, the Tarzan books, and any of the other series or stand-alone titles in his repertoire, Burroughs specialized in the formulaic boys' adventure: All of his plots follow a courageous and individualistic hero as he battles monstrous villains and rescues the imperiled female. |

| | At this time it was standard to learn Greek and Latin in addition to English composition, and Burroughs would often lament his erratic schooling, which resulted in his (or so he said) learning little English while taking the same Greek and Latin courses over and over again. | | | Not that he was an angel during his stay at MMI (he tried deserting during his first year, among other escapades) but Burroughs had apparently found an atmosphere conducive to his spirit. | | | Despite his claims to the contrary, this early exposure to Classical literature and mythology would serve Burroughs well in his future writing career. |
