Description
Drawing on a number of literary theories (but avoiding most of their jargon), the author makes a case for fantasy as a significant movement within postmodern literature rather than as a simple exercise of nostalgia. It examines fantasies by Ursula K Le Guin, John Crowley, JRR Tolkien, Diana Wynne Jones, and Gene Wolfe, among others.
