Bit young to retire, aren't you? Academics must be paid more than I thought.
As to the quotation (from whom?): it all depends what is meant by 'new world'. Every truly original writer must create something new (or they wouldn't be 'truly original', would they?), but whether you want to call that newness a world ...
They're begging the question. They've defined "truly original writer" as one who creates a new world. If they actually looked at wot they wroted, they'd realise it says more about them than about writers :D.
It feels like a circular definition somehow - and very few writers have created a truly original setting or world. It's most;y people in rubber suits. And here form is clearly as significant as constant, in the originality stakes, to the degree that they can be separated.
