- The Dancers at the End of Time is a series of science fiction novels and short stories written by Michael Moorcock, the setting of which is the End of Time, an era "where entropy is king and the universe has begun collapsing upon itself". The inhabitants of this era are immortal decadents, who create flights of fancy using power rings which draw on energy devised and stored by their ancestors millions of years prior. Time travel is possible, and throughout the series various points in time are visited and revisited. Space travelers are also common, but most residents of the End of Time find leaving the planet distasteful and clichéd. The title of the series is itself taken from a poem by a fictitious 19th Century poet, Ernest Wheldrake, which Mrs. Amelia Underwood quotes in The End of All Songs.. "Ernest Wheldrake" had been a pseudonym used by Algernon Swinburne. The original trilogy: An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands and The End of All Songs was published between 1974 and 1976. The trilogy purports to tell the last love story in human history. Other stories in this sequence include The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming (also known as A Messiah at the End of Time) which is a rewrite of the novella Constant Fire. Several short stories, some of which were included in the anthology Legends from the End of Time, were published in New Worlds 7-10 (the paperback revival of the magazine). Short stories featuring Elric (Elric at the End of Time), and Jerry Cornelius (The Murderer's Song) also feature characters and places from the End of Time. Main characters in the series include Jherek Carnelian, one of the few humans to have been born naturally at the End of Time, rather than created, Mrs Amelia Underwood, a time traveler from the late 19th century; the enigmatic Lord Jagged, and Miss Mavis Ming in the eponymous The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming, which also features the Fireclown.
