Description

Writing and Fantasy brings together essays that restore a sense of the fantastic as a political response to cultural opportunities and pressures. Moving beyond conventional psychoanalytic and social frameworks, this collection examines how fantasy functions as a strategic response across centuries of literature and culture. Each chapter offers a focused reading of how fantasy acts to contain or exploit specific historical and cultural moments, spanning from the classical period through the twentieth century. The essays explore a diverse range of sites and contexts, revealing fantasy not merely as psychological escape but as a deliberate literary strategy for engaging with the complexities of its time. This Routledge volume serves scholars, students, and readers interested in understanding how imaginative literature responds to and shapes cultural discourse.
