Ursula Le Guin's original Earthsea trilogy was published between 1968 and 1972. Sequels have since been published at long intervals, first Tehanu in 1990, then The Other Wind (together with a volume of short stories, Tales from Earthsea) in 2002. This essay argues that each of these additions has retrospectively “rewritten” the earlier books, replacing the accepted original trilogy by a different one, to which the first two books are prequels. Major revisions include the displacement of the principle of ‘balance and equilibrium’ by that of change, the introduction of feminist perspectives, a movement from supernatural to secular and domestic power, altered status for both wizards and dragons, and above all a radical change in attitudes to death and immortality.

机译：厄休拉·勒金（Ursula Le Guin）的原始《地球海》三部曲于1968年至1972年之间出版。此后的续集出版时间间隔很长，首先是1990年的《特哈努》，然后是2002年的《另一风》（以及许多短篇小说，《地球海的故事》）。这些附加内容中的每一个都追溯性地“重写”了早期的书籍，用另一本书代替了被接受的原始三部曲，前两本书是前传。主要的修订包括改变改变了“平衡与平衡”原则，引入了女权主义观点，从超自然的权力转变为世俗的和家庭的权力，巫师和巨龙的地位发生了改变，最重要的是对死亡和永生的态度。
