I don't think I've seen Glorianna.

My introduction to Moorcock were his Michael Kane stories - a sort of tribute to Edgar Rice Burroughs - and they were great fun. After that I found him very hit and miss. I agree that the Corum mostly worked. I liked some of the Elric saga, but too much of it reflected (how I've seen him describe) his writing method - same goes for Jerry Cornelius, Eternal Champion etc.. I did like The City in the Autumn Stars, and I thought the Dancers at the End of Time collection worked really well, quirky and different.

I get the impression he is not a patient man, and I believe this shows up in his writing.
