Description

Writing and Fantasy (Crosscurrents) offers a fresh perspective on the role of the fantastic in literature and culture. Published by Routledge, this collection of essays moves beyond traditional psychoanalytic and social theories. Instead of viewing fantasy as a product of consciousness or nineteenth-century individualism, this work examines it as a political response to various cultural pressures and opportunities. The text provides a historical survey that spans from the classical period through to the twentieth century. Each chapter offers a local reading of how fantasy functions as a specific strategy. By studying these different eras, readers can see how fantasy is used to either contain or exploit certain historical moments. This book is an essential resource for those studying how literary imagination reacts to the changing world.
