The Fantasy Literature of England

Arts & Literature

“An assured, if often summary, discussion of a wide range of heterogeneous texts. . . . The fact that Manlove has returned repeatedly to thinking about fantasy literature in various contexts and from different points of view in his scholarship suggests a recognition of the incompleteness of any one account or explanation. As a general guide to a large body of work, The Fantasy Literature of England seems likely to be an important resource for other scholars who are interested in exploring detailed and theoretically nuanced answers to the many questions raised by Manlove's study.”
