		Reading Edgar Rice Burroughs as children we were captivated, but when we re-read these works as adults we tend to critically examine that which thrilled us as tykes from the viewpoint of real life experience.

	87.02.05: Would You Like to Swing on a Vine?: The Epic Tradition and Edgar Rice Burroughs
		Burroughs’ successful commercialization, his seemingly timeless appeal to an excitement-oriented reading public, and his adroitness in creating memorable characters should come as no surprise to fans and foes alike, since the author really just follows a formula that has its roots in the epic tradition.
		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.
