Description

Explore the deep connection between ancient traditions and modern literature with Stories about Stories: Fantasy And The Remaking Of Myth. Published by Oxford University Press, this work examines how fantasy serves as a space where different understandings of myth compete and evolve. While myth is often viewed as oral, collective, and sacred, fantasy operates as a modern literary mode and a popular form of entertainment. This book bridges that gap, providing a comprehensive history of the modern fantastic. It offers a clear argument about the nature and importance of these genres in our culture. Readers will find detailed analysis regarding the origins of fantasy, including the Romantic search for localized myths and the Modernist turn toward the primitive. This text is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of storytelling and the way new relationships with myth are worked out through contemporary literature.
