Description

From the time of Charles Dickens, the imaginative power of the city of London has frequently inspired writers to their most creative flights of fantasy. Charting a new history of London fantasy writing from the Victorian era to the 21st century, Fairy Tales of London explores a powerful tradition of urban fantasy distinct from the rural tales of writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien. Hadas Elber-Aviram traces this urban tradition from Dickens, through the scientific romances of H.G. Wells, the anti-fantasies of George Orwell and Mervyn Peake to contemporary science fiction and fantasy writers such as Michael Moorcock, Neil Gaiman and China Miéville. Review This ambitious and important book advances a persuasive new reading of 19th and 20th-century British Fantasy writing, exploring the dynamic between a tradition of Rural Imagination, typified by writers like Ruskin, MacDonald, Tolkien and C S Lewis and one of Urban Fantasy typified by Dickens, Wells, Orwell, Peake and China Mièville. It marks an important intervention into the on-going critical debate about writing of the fantastic. About the Author Hadas Elber-Aviram is Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Notre Dame, London, UK.
