Description

Explore the fundamental relationship between reality and imagination in this scholarly work from Routledge. Since the era of Plato and Aristotle, Western narrative has been defined by mimesis, or imitation. This book challenges the view that fantasy is a minor or separate genre. Instead, it argues that fantasy is a core impulse in literary practice, standing alongside mimesis as a primary driver of creation. Originally published in 1984, this Routledge Revival edition provides a deep look into how writers respond to reality. By examining fantasy not as a marginal element but as a significant force, the text offers a new way to understand the mechanics of fiction. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the history and criticism of Western literature and the dual nature of storytelling.
