Fantasy is both old and new. In the ancient past, stories of magic,
where supernatural creatures existed, the gods walked the earth and
heroes saved their civilizations from the dark fate that awaited
them were intermingled with history, religion and fact. It is only
in the last few hundred years that a conscious suspension of
disbelief has allowed us to return to fantasy: the literature of
the impossible and appreciate it for its craft and storytelling
once more. Historical Dictionary of Fantasy Literature , Second
Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section contains cross-referenced
entries on more than 800 authors, ranging across the entire
historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the
fantasy sub genres, key images in fantasy literature, technical
terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted
relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and
lifestyle fantasies. This book is an excellent resource for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
fantasy literature.
