Description

Explore a deeper understanding of the fantasy genre with Fantasy: The Literature of Subversion from the New Accents series. Published by Routledge, this academic study challenges the common idea that fantasy is simply a form of escapism. Instead, it presents a rigorous argument to define fantasy as a unique and distinct type of narrative structure. This book examines various issues within the genre by looking at a wide range of fantasy works. By analyzing different images and storytelling styles, the text provides a clear framework for studying how fantasy operates as a literary tool. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in literary theory and the specific mechanics of speculative fiction. Whether you are researching narrative theory or looking to move beyond vague interpretations of the genre, this work offers a structured perspective on how fantasy functions in literature.

Key Features

Provides a scholarly critique of the common misconception that fantasy is mere escapism.

Analyzes a wide range of fantasy works to explore various themes and images.

Part of the New Accents series published by Routledge for academic study.
