Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Some of the earliest books ever written, including <i>The Epic of Gilgamesh</i> and the <i>Odyssey</i>, deal with monsters, marvels, extraordinary voyages, and magic, and this genre, known as fantasy, remained an essential part of European literature through the rise of the modern realist novel. Tracing the history of fantasy from the earliest years through to the origins of modern fantasy in the 20th century, this account discusses contributions decade by decade--from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and Lewis's Narnia books in the 1950s to J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. It also discusses and explains fantasy's continuing and growing popularity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is a book I want to put under my pillow, to absorb its wisdom while I sleep." --Alison Habens, <i>London Magazine</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Farah Mendlesohn</b> is a reader in science fiction and fantasy literature at Middlesex University, a former reviews editor for <i>Quaker Studies</i>, and the author of <i>Rhetorics of Fantasy</i>.
