Description

Explore a new perspective on literary history with Critical Discourses of the Fantastic, 1712-1831. In this work, David Sandner challenges the common idea that fantastic literature began during the Romantic period. Instead, he demonstrates that tales of wonder and imagination were widely popular throughout the eighteenth century. By examining contemporary critical definitions and defenses, Sandner shows how a full century of debate and experimentation occurred before the Romantic interest in the creative imagination took hold. This book provides a deep look at how the supernatural was handled in a modern and rational age, including specific analysis of Joseph Addison's 'The Fairy Way of Writing.' This text is an essential resource for students and scholars of literary theory and history. It offers a detailed examination of the evolution of the fantastic, providing context for how writers used the supernatural to engage readers long before the nineteenth century.
